The carinated dish of dish-on-stand, jar-stand, lid with central knob and beaker with constricted lower profile are among those types which are common between mature Harappa and BARA cultures. In addition there are sturdy bowls and dishes with flaring sides which terminate in 'thumb'-sectioned, bevelled, beaked, clubbed, out-turned or flattened rims, variants of which are popular at Mohenjo-daro and at the Sutlej sites but not at Harappa. Jars and vases, painted with series of bands, some rather wide, are available with different profiles and suggest perhaps new and regional variants of old shapes. The painted motifs include triangles, squares, large spirals with tuft-like central terminals, intersecting circles, bipinnates, petals and the peacock. These designs or objects are either hatched with parallel or criss-cross lines or completely filled in black.
