Besides paintings and bruisings on the rock-face [13] found at PIKLIHAL, BENKAL, BELLARY, etc., terracotta figurines of bulls and birds are the only examples of Neolithic art. They are hand-modelled with all limbs luted; the legs of the bulls are not usually separated. Such figures come from PIKLIHAL, TEKKALAKOTTA and SANGANAKALLU and are available in the lower levels and onwards. Another important object found in the upper phase is the head-rest [12.5] as at T. NARSIPUR and HALLUR.
