The mystery of the Indus Unicorn seal has in my opinion been solved. After trying to locate the unicorn and the sacred object that stands before it as a constellation, I have finally made a match.

The key is the object. I have decided that it is a bundle of incense and an aerated bowl on a stand. The bundle is the constellation Orion and the bowl is the constellation Lepus.
The smoke, carrying auspicious prayers into the heavens, is the Milky Way. The unicorn is a side on view of the bull in the constellation Taurus.

The sacred bull was the seal of the ruling priest who carried the insensor before the funeral procession, offering up prayers for the dead.

gwh...what is this unicorn seal of which you speak? Maybe if you were to post a link to a source of information about it, you may get some interesting discussion.

It is not a unicorn seal, it is a narwhal, which is not a seal at all, but a whale. It lives in Greenland, which is not green, but the sea is, which is where it actually lives, not on the land, hence the confusion. It looks nothing like a horse, and is probably confused with the sea horse, which is a mythical fish that does, which is why unicorns are commonly believed to lay eggs, which they don't, unlike dogs. Unicorns are half man, half horse, and only come from remote Welsh farms, where no questions are asked.

Hmmm.... Well, that doesn't look like a unicorn at all to me.... looks more like a bull....

Boro Nut

A Bull??? What sort of bull has testicles so large it needs to carry them over it's shoulder?

Classic, I was thinking it but you put it so much better.

Actually it looks like a strange hybrid between a Bull and a Rhino to me, i.e the head and shoulders look Rhino-like and the legs and hind quarters look Bull-like.

I think it is a Minotaur. It is clearly snacking on Jason & The Argonauts.
