The earliest animal figurines from Harappa are Early
Harappan (Ravi Phase, Period 1 and Kot Diji Phase,
Period 2) zebu figurines. They are typically very
small with joined legs and stylized humps. A few of
these zebu figurines have holes through the humps
that may have allowed them to be worn as amulets
on a cord or a string. One Early Harappan zebu
figurine was found with the remains of a copper
alloy ring still in this hole
