c9.32

With the exception of the beads and seal-amulets, which are beautifully made and carved, the standard of the stonework is not nearly so high as that of the pottery and metal-work, probably because stone was very little required, owing to the abundance of copper and bronze that was used in the Indus valley. No carved stonework of a purely ornamental nature has yet come to light; perhaps wood which has perished took its place.
