During excavations at Mohenjo-daro, several huge limestone ringstones were found like this white one

Several large ringstones have been recovered from Mohenjo-daro though none were found in their original position of use. Discoveries of similar ringstones at the site of Dholavira suggest that these may have been put to use as the base of wooden columns. Small dowel holes may often be spotted on one side. It is possible that many of these ringstones were used to keep a thick wooden pole running through the central portion upright. A miniature version of a ringstone column made from shell rings has been reported from the site of Dholavira in Gujarat. |
