Terracotta male figures are rare at the Harappa \[4.9\] sites of the Indus valley and Gujarat. The best specimen comes from lothal. With Sumerian features it has a bald head, square-cut beard, pointed nose and slit eyes. The eye-sockets are indicated by depressions. The pointed nose and long square-cut beard are features alien to the Indus art.
