EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Pakistani sherd painted with a stylised humped bull, dating back to the 18th century BC. The sherd originates from Harappa, an archaeological site that belonged to the cemetery H culture of the Indus Valley civilization. This ancient artifact provides us with a glimpse into the artistic and cultural practices of this bygone era. The intricate painting depicts a beautifully stylised humped bull, symbolizing strength and fertility. The vibrant colors used in this artwork have managed to withstand the test of time, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even today. The fragmentary nature of the sherd adds an air of mystery and intrigue, leaving us curious about what other wonders may lie buried beneath these ancient lands. As we examine this piece closely, we are reminded of how animals played an integral role in both daily life and religious beliefs during this period. Camels were often utilized for transportation purposes in these arid regions, while bulls held significant symbolic value within their society. Thanks to dedicated archaeologists like CM Dixon and Mike Dixon who tirelessly unearthed such treasures from our past, we can now marvel at objects like this sherd. Let it serve as a reminder that our history is rich and diverse, filled with stories waiting to be discovered through careful exploration and preservation.
