Prehistoric India to 1000 B.C. c12.161

c12.161

It is as difficult to pin down the sources of these various motifs as it is to produce a pedigree for any other feature of the Harappā civilization. I have suggested Kulli as a likely source, at least in part, and one may note that large buff-ware pots in which chequer-work panels alternate with branching trees and ibex-figures occur in the Khurab cemetery in Persian Makran: this pottery will be discussed in the next chapter, and may be approximately contemporary with the later phases of the Harappā Culture - i.e. about 2000 B.C. or a bit later.
