Harappan site of Amri, located in modern-day Sindh, Pakistan has revealed actual rhinoceros bones and fossils although the one-horned rhinoceros species no longer inhabits the region. However, rhino motifs commonly occur on Indus seals, bronzes, and pottery found across sites. The discovery of rhino remains at Amri confirms the Indus people were familiar with these exotic animals that they incorporated into religious iconography. The non-native rhinos were likely brought or traded from elsewhere.
