v2.c29.1161

An important discovery in this Pd is an engraved stone slab found fixed in a rectangular structure forming some sort of tank with the engraved face placed upside down making it non-functional at the place of its occurrence. The structure is in the middle levels of this Pd. The engraving on the slab depicts a hunting scene showing an antlered deer being pierced from behind with a long spear by a hunter and an arrow being discharged by another hunter from the front (Pande, 1973). The topmost portion shows two suns and a dog. Towards the top the slab is partially damaged as a result of which the uppermost part of the scene is lost to a small extent. Another stone slab shows an incomplete scene.
