Summary[edit]

Description
Français : Morceaux de coquille de Turbinella pyrum, gastéropode dont la coquille est utilisée dans la civilisation harappéenne pour fabriquer des bracelets destinés aux élites. Après avoir cassé les extrémités et retiré le mollusque, les artisans sciaient la partie centrale du coquillage afin d'obtenir une section circulaire servant ensuite à former le bracelet. Ces morceaux sont les rebuts issus de cette étape, provenant de la partie supérieure de la coquille. Provenance : Mohenjo-daro. Civilisation harappéenne mature (v. 2600-1900 av. J.-C.).
English: Discarded pieces of shell from Turbinella pyrum, a gastropod whose shell is used in the Harappan civilization to make bracelets for the elite. After breaking the ends and removing the internal spine, the craftsmen sawed the central part of the shell to obtain a circular section from which the bracelet will be made. These pieces are the rejects from this stage, from the top part of the shell. From Mohenjo-daro. Mature Harappan civilization (c. 2600-1900 BC).
