Solution
The correct option is C Both 1 and 2 Seals were the greatest artistic creations of the Harappan Culture which carried short inscriptions. They feature the sign of someone carrying goods, possibly indicating a trading group or caste. Only a few specimens of unicorn amulet-type seals have been found. One was during Marshall's excavations at Mohenjo-daro in the 1920s, another at Dholavira a few years ago.
