Most of our people live a comfortable life. Some people have achieved great success in business and rank as our upper class. Only a few unworthy souls have found it difficult to participate in the general prosperity. Both men and women dress in robes worn over the left shoulder and under the right arm. Both also often wear fillets, many made of gold or silver. Some men wear beards, while others prefer to be clean-shaven. Their hair may be short or long. Women adorn themselves with lovely jewelry made from locally produced beads as well as from imported stones. They wear their hair in a variety of styles, from simple braids and coils to elaborate creations with cascading curls. Most of the citizens of Mohenjo-Daro are farmers, traders, or craftworkers. The city boasts a large and highly skilled artisan community. Internationally renowned, these artists create beautiful and useful objects for everyday life as well as luxury goods for the discriminating. Our city leaders
and priests, though fewer in number, ensure that our city runs smoothly
and that our civic and spiritual needs are met. |
