It has been suggested that the fine Indus pottery was probably made on a fast wheel. In this connection it may be stated that there are two types of potters wheel viz., the hand wheel and the foot wheel. The latter is operated by the potter with his foot and is much faster than the former. Ernest Mackey is of the opinion that the Indus pottery was turned on the foot wheel.
