This excavated cream colour hand modelled male nude figurine was found at Harappa. The male is seated in a posture similar to yogic posture with legs outstretched and knees slightly raised. The head, mouth and nose were pinched and the two eyes were marked by a round pellet. Fingers are not shown, but two hands are clasped which appears to be ‘namaskar’ pose. Some parts of the feet are missing. The figurine is thin and flat but the triangular forehead is pinched at two sides. This ageless type of figurine shows typical signs of Harappan manufacturing technique.
