Art in the Indus Valley Civilisation

The people of the Indus Valley civilisation produced lots of highly decorated objects and art. The seals that they produced had beautiful pictures of different animals including oxen and even imaginary animals! These seals often had holes on the back of them and archaeologists think this could have been to hang them on a string. These people made beautiful jewellery out of carnelian, gold and other precious materials. Some of this jewellery has been found in Mesopotamia, showing that the Indus people must have traded there.
