Harappan Dancer

This is a female dancer from the Harappan civilization that spread over the Indus Valley in South Asia between 3300 and 1300 BC, being the first urban culture known to develop in the subcontinent. Her jewelry is referenced from a bronze statuette uncovered at the Harappan site of Mohenjo-daro in what is now northern Pakistan, but whereas the original sculpture showed a nude figure, I gave my version a top and loincloth to make it safer for work.

It was believed that the Harappan Civilization was the hub of art and culture and architecture.
