The Indus Civilization (Cambridge History of India, Supplementary Volume) c17.32

c17.32

A comparable but inferior bronze figurine found in DK Area² adds nothing to our knowledge. Of better quality is a detached bronze foot wearing an anklet,³ found in a high (late?) level; and amongst a number of bronze images of animals, a subject in which the Indus modeller was at his best, mention may be made of a buffalo and a ram or goat, also from Mohenjo-daro.⁴ The former has caught expressively the characteristic stance of the animal, with massive uplifted head and swept-back horns.
