INDUS VALLEY & MOEN JO DARO=== A large variety of pottery items were found at Moenjodaro. Most of them were wheel turned and include all sizes, forms and decorations. There were big jars down to small bowls, vases, incense burners, and elaborate dishes on stands. There were even large troughs for feeding cattle.
The pottery was mostly painted with red, cream, or black designs. The surface paint was either smooth or dull. There were also plain unpainted types of pottery like cups, saucers, goblets, dishes, water jars and large storage jars for grain. Though the plain pottery seems to be what they had the most of, painted items were also popular. Pottery painted with black or brown tints often has geometrical designs along with plants, animals, birds and human forms.
