A detailed analysis of the iconography of the Indus seals and tablets is in preparation and will be published elsewhere. What we offer here is a broad classification of motifs sufficient for organizing the material into coherent classes: 'unicorn' / urus / bison / zebu / buffalo / markhor / goat / deer / rhinoceros / elephant / tiger / hare / snake / gharial / animal group / joined animals / composite animal / anthropomorph / tree / cult object (variously interpreted as a manger, incense burner or filter) / ship / swastika / other geometric design.
