Correct Answer :
bronze
Solution :
The correct option is bronze.
The ‘Dancing Girl’ is a magnificent bronze statuette created around 2500 BCE, discovered in the ruins of Mohenjo-daro (one of the largest settlements of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization) in 1926.
The figurine was crafted using the lost-wax casting technique (cire perdue), which demonstrates the advanced metallurgy and artistic expertise of the Indus Valley artisans. This technique involves making a wax model of the figurine, coating it in clay, melting the wax out to leave a mold, and then pouring molten bronze into the cavity to create the final sculpture.
