Mirrors were made of bronze and glass, combs out of ivory. Antimony rod or kohl stick, made of copper and bronze was a popular item. Toy birds and animals or wheels were mostly made of terracotta. But there were many imitations on copper and bronze also. The leopard toy on wheel found at Nāgdā (600-200 BC level), for example, was made of copper. The Dāimābād bronzes also come under this category.
