A new tradition in terracotta animal toys \[6.7.4\] is provided by two wheeled animals, a bull and a ram, with perforated faces to pull them by means of strings. The beautifully modelled bodies of the animals bear incised lines. A semicircular grey-ware object with its hollow interior divided into two portions remains unidentified. Among other terracotta objects may be named bangles, vase-shaped beads and ornamented discs. Bone is the material for dice, styluses, ‘mother goddess’ pendants, pins and points, perhaps arrowheads. Small reel-shaped discs of black jasper, vitreous paste and bone were perhaps used as ear studs. Bangles were made of baked clay and beads of glass. - [Previous: v2.c28.203](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.203) - [Next: v2.c28.205](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.205) - [Up: v2.c28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.204](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.204) · Pramāṇa
