Indus Valley Civilization laid the stepping stone for sculptures and architectures in Hindustan, the then India. The Indus Valley sculpture throws a lot of light on the age. The discovered ruins of the cities bear testimony to the fact that an urban civilisation has developed in 1500 BC. Seals are important artifacts for the age. Most of the Indus Valley sculptures found on the seals are that of the animals.

The features of Indus Valley sculpture can be well understood from their pottery too. As far as architecture is concerned burnt bricks were widely used in the early society as the building material. Apart from these the figures carved on soapstone have also been excavated from Mohenjo-Daro and Harrappa. The handiworks or sculptures of pottery are also worth checking out. The best part about the Indus Valley sculpture is that they are simple. There is no opulence but they do reflect their contemporary age. The seals contained images of animals that belonged to the era. The famous Indus Valley sculpture of the dancing girl throws ample light on the society. It also reflects the art of the age.

The predominant religion of the age can be determined by the sculpture of Mother Goddesses and the sculpture of three headed Shiva. Terracotta and bronze were widely used too to make the Indus Valley sculptures.
