This print showcases a remarkable steatite seal from the ancient Indus Valley civilization, specifically Mohenjo-Daro, dating back to 2500 - 2000 BC. The focal point of this artifact is an intricately carved humped bull, symbolizing the significance of animals in their economy, trade, and religious practices. The craftsmanship displayed on this seal reflects the artistic prowess of the people who once inhabited this region. The attention to detail and use of color add depth and life to the depiction of this sacred animal. It serves as a testament to their advanced skills in artistry and their reverence for these creatures. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to a bustling city where camels roamed freely alongside bulls with distinctive humps. This reconstruction allows us to envision how life might have been during that era – vibrant and interconnected through trade routes that spanned vast distances. This steatite seal not only represents an archaeological find but also offers insights into the religious beliefs held by its creators. It stands as a reminder of Pakistan's rich cultural heritage and its deep-rooted connection with ancient civilizations. Through preserving such artifacts like this one discovered at Mohenjo-Daro, we gain valuable knowledge about our past while honoring those who came before us.
