The material markers of the Mohenjo Daro civilization were the stone sculptures and carvings, the symbolic objects, the class divisions, and the buildings. The  people of Mohenjo Daro did not create these amazing pieces of art in order to glorify their power, and there was an absence of any relation to warfare or conquered enemies in their art.  Almost all of the symbolic figures, sculptures, and carvings were relatively small.  Many people think the figures that had been created symbolized the  ancient ancestral leaders of their community.  Furthermore, animal figures were also constructed in the Mohenjo Daro civilization.  All of the figurines made were composed of terracotta, bronze, faince, or shell.  Archaeologists have found evidence of other material items such as musical instruments, pottery, and toys.  The people of Mohenjo Daro were distinguished in classes by what they wore.  The wealthier people might have worn bangles and necklaces made of rare metals. These material markers expressed the type of people that lived in Mohenjo Daro, and they set the wealthy people apart from the common people.
