This research investigates the relationship between the Indus script and the Phoenician alphabet by focusing on the Indus sign P-245 and its Phoenician counterpart. Building upon the phonetic values derived from Phoenician and adhering to the phonological principles of Sindhu Prakrit, this study explores the concordance between the textual content and iconography of three meticulously selected Indus seals. The analysis aims to demonstrate how the imagery on these seals reinforces and elucidates the interpretation of the inscribed text. The interplay between text and iconography not only corroborates the textual content but also strengthens the correlation between the two elements.
