Terracotta Sculptures
Numerous terracotta seals and figurines have been found at Harappan sites, ranging from toys to cult objects, such as the Mother Goddess, and representations of birds, animals, including monkeys, dogs, sheep, cattle, and both humped and humpless bulls.
The terracotta figurines of the Indus Valley are detailed, especially in their eyes, hands, and necks.
However, in terms of human representation, terracotta figures are less refined than the copper and bronze sculptures of the Indus Valley.
Among the human figurines, female figures are more common, and their headgear is often more elaborate.
Mother Goddess: One of the most significant terracotta figures from the Indus Valley is the Mother Goddess.
This figure is a crude standing female adorned with necklaces over her prominent breasts, wearing a loincloth and girdle.
The distinctive feature of these figurines is a fan- shaped headdress, with cup-like projections on each side.
The rest of the facial features are very crude and far from realistic.
