Why are animal figures on Harappan seals considered important?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They provide information about symbols and identity
Harappan seals often combine animal motifs with short inscriptions. Because the script remains undeciphered, the figures are important clues for studying symbols, identity, religious or social meanings and possible administrative or commercial use. They cannot confidently be described as modern pictures, war orders or tax slips.
