The pottery comprises the classical Harappa shapes such as the storage jar, perforated jar, S-shaped vase, dish-on-stand, basin, goblet, beaker, vase, handled cup, etc. and painted designs such as \*pipal\* leaf and intersecting circles painted in black over red slip and incised cord- and nail-marks.
