Answers
Answer:
1. The Mask of Warka is unique in that it is the first accurate depiction of the human face. Previous attempts, like the Tell Brak Head, were not anatomically accurate, and featured exaggerated noses and ears.
2.The seals give us useful information about the civilization of Indus valley. Some seals have human or animal figures on them. Most of the seals have the figures of real animals while a few bear the figure of mythical animals. The seals are rectangular, circular or even cylindrical in shape.
The seals even have an inscription of a sort of pictorial writing. Most of the seals have a knob at the back through which runs a hole. It is said that these seals were used by different associations or merchants for stamping purposes. They were also worn round the neck or the arm.
The seals show the culture and civilization of the Indus Valley people. In particular, they indicate:
Dresses, ornaments, hair-styles of people.
Skill of artists and sculptors.
Trade contacts and commercial relations.
Religious beliefs.
Script.
