This set of three "stamps" is made of stone and are thought to be from the Indus Valley Civilization (c. 3300–1300 BCE), now modern day Pakistan. The stamps are small, ranging from 1 to 2.75 inches in height. The elaborate carvings on the stamps are likely to have been used to decorate or mark pottery and other objects. They are now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
