Terracota figurines of Harappan Culture. figurines made of fire baked earthen clay is called terracotta. These figurines were either used as toys or objects of worship. They represent birds, dogs, sheep, cattle and monkeys. Men and women ( women more in number) figurines are also available. The seals and images were made with great skill but terracotta pieces were unsophisticated art works. It appears that seals and images were used by members of upper class and terracotta by common people.
Masonary work were poor in Harappan culture and massive work of art in stone is not found as is found in ancient egypt and Mesopotamia.
