EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two intricately decorated seals from Mohenjodaro, a site of great historical significance. The seals depict a zebu and a bull, both adorned with exquisite details that speak to the artistic mastery of the Harappan civilization. The zebu, an iconic symbol in Indian culture, is beautifully portrayed on one seal. Its regal presence exudes power and grace, while its intricate decorations hint at the importance of this animal in religious or mythological contexts. On the other seal, we see a majestic bull depicted with equal finesse. This creature holds immense significance in various ancient cultures worldwide as a symbol of strength and fertility. The attention to detail in capturing its form highlights the reverence bestowed upon it by the people of Mohenjodaro. Both seals are crafted using concave relief technique, which adds depth and dimension to their designs. These artifacts provide us with valuable insights into the Indus Valley civilization's rich cultural heritage dating back to 2300-1750 BC. Preserved by the National Museum of India in New Delhi, these extraordinary relics offer glimpses into an ancient world where artistry thrived alongside complex societal structures. As we admire these remarkable pictograms captured through photography by Harappan artists centuries ago, we are reminded of our shared human history and our enduring fascination with animals as symbols of power and spirituality.
