What were Harappan seals made of?

Harappan seals were typically made of steatite, a soft stone that could be easily carved. These seals were engraved with images of animals, such as elephants, tigers, and unicorns, along with script that remains undeciphered. The seals were used for administrative and trade purposes, often to mark goods or indicate ownership. They were polished to a smooth finish and sometimes pierced to be worn as pendants. These seals are an important part of the Harappan legacy, reflecting their skills in craftsmanship and their sophisticated society.
