The image features a stunning lamp crafted in the form of a female head, dating back to 3000-1500 BC during the Harappan civilization. The exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this stone sculpture. The delicate facial features, adorned with an intricately designed coiffure, make for an enchanting sight. This lamp not only served as a functional object but also acted as a symbol of femininity and beauty within the Mohenjo-Daro community.
