As excavated, Pd I yielded terracotta animal and human figurines [17]. The animal figurines of elephant, ram and horse have painted yellow horizontal strokes on the back, leg and tail. The female figurines indicate an archaic style, with incised eyes, punched nose, punched ear-lobes and perforations on the head indicating hairdressing. Grey ware and black-and-red ware associated with the NBPW [11.16] are met with, in shapes like the basin, conical bowl, bowl with internally knobbed base and dish in black ware. The date of the Pd may be put to 600 to 400 B.C.
