Thanks to Nirjhar Mukhopadhyay for this brilliant insight, identifying a Rojdi potsherd with an Indus Script inscription. The hieroglyph used on the potsherd is used as Ujjaini symbol on thousands of ancient mint coins from Ujjain and Eran. Clearly, the hieroglyph signifies the wealth of metalwork in mints. See:

Coins from Ujjain depicting the famous 'Ujjaini symbol' [a], which is a really frequent symbol from coins and seals of central-west India during early historic period (~200 BCE).Same symbol could be traced back to the Harappan period [b]. It is also seen in other Chalcolithic cultures like from Navdatoli [c]. It may have been a regional/tribal symbol from Harappan era which survived till early historic era.The hypertext of Ujjain symbol with four arms lf + ligatured to dotted circle is explained as: धवड dhavaḍa, 'smelter' PLUS gaṇḍa 'four' rebus: khaṇḍa
'implements'.  dhã̄i'strand' rebus: dhāū, dhāv m.f. ʻ a partic. soft red stoneʼdhatu'mineral ore' PLUS vaṭa'string'vaa 'circle' together rebus expression: dhāvaḍ 'smelter'. Thus, the Ujjaini symbol used as an Indus Script hypertext on Rojdi potsherd reads: dhāvaḍ kaṇḍa'smelter implements'.
