उत्तर
The Seals have been considered as the most valuable finds of the Harappan Civilization, their importance is described below:
More than 2000 seals of different types have been discovered from the various sites. These are usually square or oblong and made of terracotta, steatite, or ivory. Some seals are engraved with the figures of animals the buffalo, bull, elephant, tiger, and antelope. The best engravings are those of the humped-bull, the buffalo, and the bison. Another figure shown on the Seals is that of the Unicorn with a single protruding horn. A particular object is placed in front of the unicorn, which may have some religious significance with ceremonial worship. The Pashupati-Seal depicts three-faced deity, seated in a yogic posture with a homed head-dress and surrounded by animals. Later excavations revealed two more seals of Shiva—one seal depicts a three-faced deity seated on a low dais; the other shows only one face with flowers springing from the head between the horns.
