This ancient Indus Valley stamp seal is carved from steatite, formed as a square plaque with incised decoration depicting a standing bull figure in profile, rendered with distinct linear detailing for its body, legs, and head, alongside a small stylized structure to the bull's lower left and a series of symbolic motifs including a star-like symbol and vertical characters above the figure. The iconography reflects the iconic animal and symbolic themes characteristic of Indus Valley glyptic art, with deliberate incising typical of Harappan lapidary craftsmanship. The surface exhibits a weathered, earthy patina consistent with age, with minor edge wear and subtle textural variations indicative of ancient use and preservation. No significant fractures or repairs are present beyond the observed wear. Height 3.5 cm (1.38 in), Width 3.2 cm (1.26 in).
