The bath would be taken, as in modern India, by pouring water over the body from a large jar, in the small bath-room with its well-paved brick floor and its outlet drain in one corner. Some of the floors still show the polish of bare feet upon them, probably aided by the oil used to prevent the skin from drying in a hot climate.
