What are the characteristics of the two figures unearthed from the Harappa cultural site?

Mohenjo unearthed it? The stone sculpture Bust of the Priest at the Luoda site is a masterpiece among the sculptures unearthed at the Harappa cultural site. It shows the image of a priest with high social status, gorgeous clothes and dignified appearance, which is quite accurate and vivid and shows high realistic skills. Because of its outstanding realism, the value of this statue is not only expressed in art, but also has high historical understanding value. It provides us with a unique image reference of the priest class in the urban culture of the Indus Valley, and also provides us with the image characteristics of people created by the Harappa culture in the Indus Valley.

There is a nude portrait of a man, and the carving technique is very realistic. The head and arms of the statue are embedded. At present, only the body is left in the statue. Judging from the preserved bodies, they are undoubtedly the most outstanding human sculpture works of art in the Bronze Age. The material of the work is limestone, and the surface of the stone statue is polished and smooth, so that the skin, muscles and other textures of the characters are vividly displayed. At the same time, a nude portrait of a male dancer was unearthed, and the head and arms were also inlaid. Different from the static image of this sculpture, the male dancer statue shows the dance dynamics in a very realistic way. This quiet action will make each other better. These two statues of male corpses were unearthed at the Harappa site.
