Unearthed in the river Doabs of Northern India, this T-shaped object with curved arm-like extensions, a roundish head, and a rectangular body with leg-like protrusions has baffled archaeologists for decades. Lacking any reference in Vedic literature, it has often been classified as an anthropomorphic ritual object.\u003cbr\u003eThis study challenges traditional interpretations through scientific analysis and proposes an alternative view. Many copper hoard items have been identified as practical tools-harpoons, fishhooks, and other accessories used in fishing boats. Could this unique object, too, have served a utilitarian function? The book explores the possibility of it being a versatile boat accessory, potentially a boat hook used in ancient sailboat operations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rekha Rao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798343078213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.20d","brand":"Rekha Rao","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46401653965055,"sku":"9798343078213","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f79f03d0-f327-4094-a9a0-599cff202ff5.jpg?v=1733888252","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maritime-accessories-of-the-copper-rekha-rao-9798343078213","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
