v1.c12.s7.11

We have mentioned earlier that the clay of Harappa was slightly different from that of Mohenjo-Daro, because of the admixture of mica in it. Thus we find that the Cemetery H pottery had come into existence with such a fine texture, being more soft and plastic in appearance. Cemetery H potteries probably belong to a somewhat later date. Another thing which is very much peculiar to Harappa is its nature of terracotta animal toys. Different types of toys with different design have been unearthed from here which according to the excavator “are not found at Mohenjo-Daro”.
