Great Bath of Mohenjo-Daro 3300 - 1300 BCE
Great Bath and Granary, SD Area
|
Great Bath, SD Area, looking north
The Great Bath was entered using two wide staircases, one from the north and
one from the south. The floor of the tank is watertight due to finely fitted bricks
laid on edge with gypsum plaster. Brick colonnades were discovered on the eastern,
northern and southern edges, but the western edge (at the left) was missing.
Sir John Marshall assumed that they would have been present and subsequent
reconstructions have replaced these missing columns.
|
At the foot of the stairs is a small ledge with a brick edging that extends the
entire width of the pool. People coming down the stairs could move along
this ledge without actually stepping into the pool itself. Small sockets at the
edges of the stairs could have held wooden planks or treads.

Priest King
Seated male sculpture, or "Priest King" from Mohenjo-daro (41, 42, 43). Fillet or ribbon headband with circular inlay ornament on the forehead and similar but smaller ornament on the right upper arm. The two ends of the fillet fall along the back and though the hair is carefully combed towards the back of the head, no bun is present. The flat back of the head may have held a separately carved bun as is traditional on the other seated figures, or it could have held a more elaborate horn and plumed headdress.
Two holes beneath the highly stylized ears suggest that a necklace or other head ornament was attached to the sculpture. The left shoulder is covered with a cloak decorated with trefoil, double circle and single circle designs that were originally filled with red pigment. Drill holes in the center of each circle indicate they were made with a specialized drill and then touched up with a chisel. Eyes are deeply incised and may have held inlay. The upper lip is shaved and a short combed beard frames the face. The large crack in the face is the result of weathering or it may be due to original firing of this object.
Material: white, low fired steatite
Dimensions: 17.5 cm height, 11 cm width

Priest-King
Priest-King
In 1927, a seated male soapstone figure was found in a building with unusually ornamental brickwork and a wall-niche. Though there is no evidence that priests or monarchs ruled Mohenjo-daro, archeologists dubbed this dignified figure a "Priest-King." The sculpture is 17.5 centimetres (6.9 in) tall and depicts a bearded man with a fillet around his head, an armband, and a cloak decorated with trefoil patterns that were originally filled with red pigment. The two ends of the fillet fall along the back. The hair is carefully combed towards the back of the head but no bun is present. The flat back of the head may have held a separately carved bun, or it could have held a more elaborate horn and plumed headdress. Two holes beneath the highly stylized ears suggest that a necklace or other head ornament was attached to the sculpture. The left shoulder is covered with a cloak decorated with trefoil, double circle and single circle designs that were originally filled with red pigment.
