The Harappan script is regarded as pictographic since its signs represent birds, fish and a verity of human forms. The script was boustrophedon, written from right to left on one line and then from left to right in the next line. The number of signs of the Harappan script is known to be between 400 and 600. It is not deciphered yet.
