In Pd II some typical Harappa types such as the beaker and goblet disappeared and some were modified in shape, e.g. the bowl with carinated shoulder and ovoid jar with high neck evolved respectively from the convex-sided bowl and small-necked globular jar of the mature Harappa. The paintings were much less elaborate and were reduced to stylized animal and vegetal motifs and simplified loops and wavy lines, all lacking finer finish.
