The shapes in the former ware were the round-bottomed jar and stud-handled bowl painted with plant motifs, horizontals, zigzags, loops and intersecting circles. The Harappans introduced their own characteristic pottery \[11.3\] but allowed the pre-existing wares to continue and adapted them to their own style. - [Previous: v2.c38.241](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.241) - [Next: v2.c38.243](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.243) - [Up: v2.c38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38) ## Cites (1) - [Rangpur](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.rangpur) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.242](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.242) · Pramāṇa
