A unique antique object, termed “Buddha pendant”, has been found very close to the archaeological site of Mohenjodaro in Pakistan’s Sindh province after the area was lashed by heavy rains.
Believed to be of archaeological importance, the object was found in the Dikshit South area of Mohenjo-daro.
Mohan Lal, a former chief engineer of the department of archaeology and museums and currently working as project director of the Endowment Fund Trust (EFT) identified it as “Buddha pendant” and suggested it to be a “unique antiquity.
An unnamed senior official at the culture department while describing the object said that it appeared like a pendant often worn around the neck by people.
Mohenjo-daro is an archaeological heritage site discovered by Indian archaeologist R D Banerji in 1922. It is located on the east of the Indus River in the semi-arid region of Sindh province. Extending over 618 acres, it is the largest and best-preserved urban centre of the Indus Civilisation (2600-1900 BC).
