Sarasvati heiroglyphs depict a single curved horn ligatured to a heifer and

horns on a standing person ligatured to the buttocks of a bovine. Horns are also

shown ligatured to seated persons. These ligatured glyphs can be explained in

the context of vis'vakarma artisan guilds life-activities.

'workshop'; sal 'workshop'.
