In 1927, a seated male [[soapstone]] figure was found in a building with unusually ornamental brickwork and a wall-niche. Though there is no evidence that [[priests]] or [[monarch]]s ruled Mohenjo-daro, archaeologists dubbed this dignified figure a "Priest-King". The sculpture is {{convert|17.5|cm|in}} tall, and shows a neatly bearded man with pierced earlobes and a [[Fillet (clothing)|fillet]] around his head, possibly all that is left of a once-elaborate hairstyle or head-dress; his hair is combed back. He wears an armband, and a cloak with drilled [[trefoil]], single circle and double circle motifs, which show traces of red. His eyes might have originally been inlaid.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.harappa.com/indus/41.html
