"Copper and bronze smiths used Magan’s copper to make bronze arrowheads, spears, fishhooks, tools and copper and bronze ornaments. Some like the ‘Dancing Girl’ found at Mohenjo-Daro dating to around 2,500 BC were made by the lost-wax method. Naked, confident, with hand on hip and head held high, it is the earliest known portrayal of realism in sculpture, modern and sophisticated in artistic style and technical manufacture."
