Puzzle Description:

Jar head? Water boy? Alien slave? Find out what this Indus Script means in the comments.

Well, you see the small jar symbol at the top, which is the most frequent sign of the Indus script and is connected to a priestly ritual in Indian tradition.

The guy carrying the jugs is interpreted as "officer" because of later Indian traditions referring to senior officers of the king as "yoke bearers."

Together the jar and the yoke bearer represent "officer with priestly duties." This is the interpretation according to Dr. Iravatham Mahadevan, one of the leading experts on Indus Script.

It reminds me a little of our modern-day justice scales. This has been such a fun series -- I love solving the puzzles and trying to figure out what the symbols might mean before I look at the descriptions. Thanks!

ditto #2. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed them. I wonder what I'll do next.

Nice work. I doubt you will take long in coming up with anything new. You always think of something!

This reminds me of a bug, like a moth or something.
