The Unicorn SealThis seal is measured at 5.08 x 5.08 cm which was found at the Indus Valley Civilisation city of harappa, it is called the "unicorn seal".On the top are five pictographs. Pictographs are words which are written in the form of various pictures. However, we still have not managed to decipher the meaning of these pictographs but we know that the unicorn is a very common motif on Indus seals. We also know that there is a ritual offering stand in front of the unicorn with a sacred liquid inside. This seal proves that the people of Indus had developed a complex system of communication made up of pictographs.
