Animal Devices on Indus Seals
A numbered group of seal designs compares bulls, an elephant, other horned animals and short inscriptions. Waddell identifies the finds with Mohenjo-daro and Harappa in his caption. His claimed decipherment provides the book’s argument, while the plate preserves the differing animal devices and sign groups. The reproduced seals do not individually identify their ancient makers.
