एक प्रकारचे शिरोवेष्टन असून त्यांच्या अंगावर दागिने घातलेले दाखविले आहेत. या मूर्ती पहातांच मेसापोटोमियांत व त्याच्या पश्चिमेकडील देशांत मातृदेवतादर्शक ज्या मूर्ती सांपडल्या आहेत, त्यांच्याशी यांचे साम्य ताबडतोव व सहज पटते. यानंतर सिंध व पंजाब येथील लोकांच्या कपड्यालत्त्यासंबंधानें मार्शलसाहेब लिहितातः- "Numerous spindle-whorls in the debris of the houses, attest the practive of spinning and weaving and scraps of a fino woven cotton imaterial have been found. The Babylonian and Greek names for cotton (Sindhu and Sindor respectively) have always pointed to the Indus valley as the home of cotton growing; but there had been some doubt hitherto, as to whether the cotton known to the Babylonians and Greeks was not obtained from the silk-cotton tree rather than from the cotton plants. This doubt is now set at rest, by the discovery at Mohenjo-Daro of true cotton of the latter kind with the typical convoluted structure which is the peculiar character- estic of that fibre." (माहेंजो-दारो येथे सांपडलेल्या शेकडों चात्याचरख्यांवरून तेथे कापूस पिंज- ण्याची व विणण्याची पुष्कळ वहिवाट होती, असे दिसून येतें. बॅबिलोनी भाषेत काप- साला 'सिंधु' असें नांव आहे, व ग्रीकभाषेत त्याला 'सिंदॉन' असे नाव आहे यावरुन कापसाच्या मूळ उत्पत्तीचे स्थान-सिंधुनद प्रांत असल्याबद्दलची फार प्राचीन काळापासूनची कल्पना होतीच. तथापि तो कापूस म्हणजे हलींप्रमाणेचा खरा कापूस होय, किंवा एक प्रकारच्या रेशमासाख्या झाडाचे तंतू होत, याविषयी आजपर्यंत शंका होती. परंतु माहेंजो-दारो येथे सापडलेल्या कापसाची परीक्षा करितां तो खरा कापूस असल्याचे नक्की झाल्याने त्या शंकेचे आतां निराकरण झाले आहे.) यानंतर पोषाखासंबंधाने ते लिहितात:- "Male attire among the upper classes oonsisted of two garments, askirt or kilt fastened round the waist, like the primitiveSu- merian skrit, and a plain or patterned shawl which was drawn over the left and under the rightshoul- der. so as to leave the right arm free. Mon wore whort beards and whiskers, with the upper lips sometimes shaven, as in Sumer. Their hair was taken back from the forehead and coiled in a kuot at the back of the head, with a fillet to support it. The one and only head of a female statue that we possess, shows the hair falling loose behind, but whether this was the prevailing fashion or not is questionable......ormments were freely worn, by all classes alike necklaces and finger-rings by both men and women; ear-rings, bangles, girdles and anklets by the latter only."
