Picture Based Questions
1. Look at the picture given below. Please state its use in earlier time. Are we presently using something like this?
Answer
Answer: In the picture, a plough has been shown, which was found in the Harappan cities. This is a toy, but archaeologists believe that this was used in digging and turning the soil for the purpose of planting of seeds. Presently, our farmers in villages also use plough for the same purpose. It appears that present day ploughs have been developed from the Harappan plough.
2. Look at the pictures given below and write about the picture.
Answer
Answer:
Picture (i):
The object is a seal and found in the Harappan cities. This seal contains script and picture of animal. Script is still unreadable. This seal was used to stamp bags or packets containing goods that were sent from one place to another. Mouth of the bag was tied and a layer of wet clay was applied on knot and seal was pressed on it. Sealing on any object assured about safety of goods. Today also we seal the goods, articles, parcels etc.
Picture (ii):
Shown objects in the picture are terracotta toys and found in the Harappan cities. These were made by baking the clay after making the designs on the clay. All terracotta toys are animals of that time which refer that the Harappan people were closely concerned with animals. Perhaps the Harappan children played with these toys. In present day, we also find Terracotta things. Many type of decorative vessels, articles, animals, birds etc., are available in the market.
Picture (iii):
Shown objects in the picture are ornaments such as garland, earring etc., made by beads and these were found in the Harappan cities. Many of the beads were made of carnelian, a beautiful red stone. The stone was cut, shaped, polished and finally a hole was bored through the centre so that a string could be passed through it. These type of the ornaments are available in the present market too and these are very much liked by the women particularly outsiders.
Picture (iv):
An artificial object faience has been shown in the picture. Faience was used to make beads, bangles, earrings and tiny vessels.
