Other forms of seals are rare, and in most cases these forms have been inspired by foreign models, if the seal itself is not a foreign import (see above, chapter 2). The round seals of the Indus Civilization have a perforated boss of the same type as the square seals and differ in this respect from the round "Dilmun" seal (L-123). In the round seals of the Late Harappan period, the suspension hole goes through the flat body of the seal (cf. C-45 to 50). With regard to the cylinder seals, which come next, before the stepped seals, it has to be pointed out that two small cylinders from Harappa have been classified as incised tablets (H-368 and H-369).75
