Perforated jars are distinctive ceramic artefacts of the Mature Harappan phase of the Indus Valley Civilisation. These large vessels are characterised by numerous small, systematically arranged holes across their walls, making them an identifiable feature of Harappan pottery.
Their exact purpose remains debated. Archaeologists suggest that they may have been used for straining liquids, brewing fermented beverages or burning incense. These artefacts offer insights into the technological skills and everyday practices of Harappan society.
