  • 5. Which of the following animals has been found engraved on most of the seals of Indus Valley Civilization?
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : C

    Indus Valley Civilization

    • Indus Valley Civilization was one of those early urban civilizations that were originated in 2300 BC and were developed in the river basins of Sutlej, Ravi, and Indus.
    • Indus Valley Civilization peoples cultivate many crops such as Barley, Wheat, Melon seeds, and oil crops like Sesame, Mustard, and Dates. These were traded by farmers with other people. 
    • The most typical Indus seal is square, with a set of symbols along the top, an animal in the centre, and one or more symbols at the bottom. 

    Seals

    • The unicorn is the most common motif on Indus seals and appears to represent a mythical animal that Greek and Roman sources trace back to the Indian subcontinent. A relatively long inscription of eight symbols runs along the top of the seal. Hence option 3 is correct.

     Additional Informationhttps://www.harappa.com/indus/25.html#:~:text=The%20unicorn%20is%20the%20most,the%20top%20of%20the%20seal.

    • Archaeologists have discovered thousands of seals, mostly made of steatite, and occasionally of agate, chert, copper, faience and terracotta, with beautiful figures of animals, such as unicorn bull, rhinoceros, tiger, elephant, bison, goat, buffalo, etc.
    • The realistic rendering of these animals in various moods is remarkable. The purpose of producing seals was mainly commercial.
    • It appears that the seals were also used as amulets, carried on the persons of their owners, perhaps as modern-day identity cards. The standard Harappan seal was a square plaque 2×2 square inches, made from steatite.
    • Every seal is engraved in a pictographic script which is yet to be deciphered. Some seals have also been found in ivory.
    • They all bear a great variety of motifs, most often of animals including those of the bull, with or without the hump, the elephant, tiger, goat and also monsters.
