EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases four ancient seals from the Indus Valley civilization, dating back to 3000-1500 BC. The seals depict a bull, a rhinoceros, an elephant, and a tiger with intricate pictographic symbols. These remarkable artifacts were discovered in Pakistan and are now housed at the National Museum of Karachi. Each seal tells its own unique story through its beautifully carved relief work. The bull exudes strength and power, representing fertility and abundance. The rhinoceros symbolizes resilience and protection, while the elephant embodies wisdom and intelligence. Lastly, the tiger signifies courage and ferocity. These seals provide valuable insights into the rich cultural heritage of the Indus Valley civilization. They serve as a testament to their advanced artistic skills and deep connection with nature. The use of pictographic symbols adds another layer of mystery to these ancient artifacts. Each symbol holds significance within this ancient society's communication system, allowing for complex messages to be conveyed through these small yet significant objects. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the mastery of Harappan craftsmanship.
