This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the ancient Indus Valley civilization. The steatite seal with a depiction of a rhinoceros is believed to have originated in Mohenjo-Daro, dating back to 2500-2000 BC. This exquisite piece not only reflects the artistic prowess of its creators but also provides valuable insights into the economy, trade, and religious practices of that era. The seal's intricate design features a powerful rhinoceros, symbolizing strength and resilience. It serves as a testament to the significance of animals in their culture and possibly hints at their reverence for nature. The use of vibrant colors adds an element of liveliness to this stone artifact, enhancing its visual appeal. As we gaze upon this reconstructed seal, we are transported back in time to explore the rich history and heritage of Pakistan's Mohenjo-Daro site.
