The Dancing girl found in Mohenjo Daro is an interesting artefact that is some 4500-year old. The 10.8 cm long bronze statue of the dancing girl was found in 1926 from a house in Mohenjo Daro. It was the favorite statue of the famous historian and archaeologist Mortimer Wheeler. This is what Wheeler said about the beautiful statue, "There is her little Baluchi-style face with pouting lips and insolent look in the eye. She's about fifteen years old I should think, not more, but she stands there with bangles all the way up her arm and nothing else on. A girl perfectly, for the moment, perfectly confident of herself and the world. There's nothing like her, I think, in the world."
