This jar is decorated with applied figurines of a female and a lizard with what looks like a shrine between the two. It has been suggested by Dhavalikar, 1979, p. 241, that the shrine is that of a deity associated with a lizard or alligator. The prevalence of tire-worship is also inferred on the basis of pits found at Navdatoli and identified as \*kuṇḍas\*. A channel-spouted bowl from the same site has the representation of a human figure with dishevelled hair and was perhaps used for ritualistic purposes. - [Previous: v2.c39.171](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39.171) - [Next: v2.c39.173](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39.173) - [Up: v2.c39](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39.172](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39.172) · Pramāṇa
