Question 14

State any two ways to show the value of seals as a source of historical information.

Answer

Two ways in which the seals serve as a source of historical information are:

  1. Harappan seals give information about foreign trade, as many were found in Mesopotamia, showing contact with other civilizations.
  2. The Gods, symbols and animal figures on seals help historians understand Harappan art, religion, and script.
