Architectural elements and funerary stelae from the tombs of local rulers and their followers display a great variety of skills, iconographies, and styles. The appearance of a servant holding a drink on the stela of Indi and many others of the time serve as a reminder of the period's preoccupation with finding adequate water supplies.
