Event Description : Indian Archaeology "The Enigmatic Copper Anthropomorph: From Harappa to the Historical" Illustrated lecture by Dr. Sanjay Manjul, Director, Institute of Archaeology.

A composite copper Anthropomorphic figure along with a copper sword was found by the speaker at the Central Antiquity Section, ASI, Purana Qila in 2005. This composite copper Anthropomorph is a solitary example in the copper hoard depicting a Varah head. The Anthropomorphic figure, its inscription and animal motif that it bears, illustrate the continuity between the Harappan and Early Historical period.
