Prehistoric India to 1000 B.C. c11.132

And ornament did not stop here, for the bangles or armlets still so beloved of Indian girls are shown on the wrists and arms of these Kulli figures. Several of these bangles are shown at each wrist, but the left arm only has further bangles above or at the elbow, which might imply a garment of *sari* type worn in such a manner as to leave this arm bare. Otherwise there is no indirect or direct evidence of clothing to be derived from these figures, but, roughly modelled though they are, they do give us a most entrancing glimpse of the people of prehistoric Baluchistan, who otherwise are such shadowy archaeological abstractions behind the potsherds and ruins from which we reconstruct their story. We seem at least to have come face to face with the women of the Kulli folk when we have studied these little clay figures, and when we are describing the Harappā Culture we shall, I think, recognize a Kulli girl in a foreign city.
