The Indus Civilization c7.6

c7.6

Of the total number of female figurines discovered, only one shows any malformation, and only two are nude. The former, which is made of clay, is unusually well finished, but the waist appears to have been unnecessarily constricted. This figure is headless and wears the usual short skirt, necklace, and other jewellery, including many bangles on the fore and upper arms. There is no reason to doubt that this figurine represents the Mother Goddess.
