Description: RARE SUBSTANTIAL ANCIENT INDUS VALLEY HARAPPAN TERRACOTTA FERTILITY FIGURINE Good details, large size Dimensions: Weight - 36.2 grams Size - 9.5x3cm Harappan people produced a large number of terracotta figurines, which were handmade. Terracottas were made up of fire baked earthen clay which came to be called as Terracotta Figurines. They were either used as toys or objects of worship The Indus Valley Civilisation extended from what today is north east Afghanistan to Pakistan and north west India. It was one of three early and widespread cradles of civilisation along with Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Aridification of the region during the 3rd millennium BCE may have been the initial spur for the urbanisation associated with the civilisation, but it eventually reduced the water supply to such an extent as to cause the civilisations demise, and to scatter its population eastward. At its peak, the Indus Valley Civilisation, which included such sites as Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, may have had a population of over five million, who developed new techniques in pottery, seal carving, and metallurgy. Age: 2200-1800 B.C. Previously in a large British collection of an expert based in central London, formed prior to 2000
