This painting depicts a large square unicorn seal with a perforated boss on the back. The unicorn, a common motif on Indus seals from Mohenjo-daro, symbolizes a mythical creature traced back to the Indian subcontinent by Greek and Roman sources. Crafted from white fired glazed steatite, this seal measures 5.08 x 5.08 cm and was used in both internal and external trade.

A relatively long inscription of eight symbols runs along the top. The unicorn's elongated body, slender arching neck, bushy tail, and bovine hooves are characteristic features. This seal is unique for its triple incised line depicting a *pipal* leaf-shaped blanket or halter, unlike the usual double line. The spiraled or ribbed horn and multi-folded jowl add to its distinctive design. A ritual offering stand with sacred droplets and a square grid or sieve completes the scene. Found between 1927 and 1931 during the initial excavations at Mohenjo-daro, this artifact from Sindh province, modern Pakistan, provides insight into ancient trade and ritual practices.
