"Bangles, by contrast, were an ornament common to all sections of society and seem to have been important; they are often found in Indus burials. Very likely, this Indus tradition of wearing bangles was one that persisted in South Asia: Indian war-riors, for example, wore bangles in battle to protect the wrist and the arm; Indian women wore them to protect their families and ensure long lives for their husbands. The latter custom continues today. From the Indus civilization bangles ranging from simple clay circlets to hollow bangles of hammered sheet gold have been found; white shell and bronze were also used, as was faience, some-times in imitation of a shell bangle with a stylized 'womb-shaped' motif. But the most prestigious material for bangles appears to have been stoneware" - Andrew Robinson I discovered the primitive connection of Bangle-wearing tradition cited in this book The Indus Lost Civilizations by Andrew Robinson published by @panmacmillanindia The book is quite interesting detailing the culture, architecture and craft of the Indus Valley civilization as found during the various excavation.Like the bright vibrant red colour were preferred by the masses.The harder stones carnelian, agate, chalcedony and jasper were used to make beautiful bead jewelleries which were discovered on excavation sites. : History, discoveries, ancient civilization, Indus civilization, craft and tradition, Harappa, The Indus Valley. : #mohenjodaro #bangles #theindus #booktour
