This monograph presents 29 Banawali inscriptions and starts with the decipherment of a unique seal impression from Banawali which signifies a composite animal of tiger looking back PLUS one-horned young bull PLUS short-horned bull PLUS a horned person with upraised hand. The inscription also contains a hypertext message with seven hieroglyphs. The one-horned young bull is also ligatured with buffalo horns with inlaid three long linear strokes. This ligature signifies a kolimi'smithy/forge' working in rango'pewter'.

Each of these hieroglyphs on a Banawali seal impression is read rebus, from r. as catalogues of metalwork competence, metalwork wealth:

Source: https://tinyurl.com/y4vo6mqx Wim Borsboom cites this as a Banawali artifact. It is a seal impression. The unique feature of this artifact is that the third head of a composite animal is that of a tiger looking back (in addition to the two heads of short-horned bull or ox and one-horned young bull or unicorn). The tiger substitutes for the antelope which is the third head of composite animals shown in the following examples of 5 seals from 5 locations -- (Amri, Banawali, Dholavira, Dwaraka, Mohenjo-daro) of the civilization. krammara 'look back' rebus: kamar 'artisan,smith' PLUS kola'tiger' rebus: kol'working in iron'kolhe'smelter'. Thus, tiger looking back signifies kol kamar'smelter, smith'. Short-horned bull or ox: barad, balad,'ox' rebus: bharata'metal alloy' (5 copper, 4 zinc and 1 tin) Antelope: ranku 'antelope' rebus: ranku 'tin'.
The 'unicorn' or young bull is shown with a ligature of curved buffalo horns ligatured with three linear strokes. This ligatured hieroglyph or hypertext is read rebus: rango 'water buffalo' Rebus: rango ‘pewter’. ranga, rang pewter is an alloy of tin, lead, and antimony (anjana) (Santali). Hieroglyhph: buffalo: Ku. N. rã̄go ʻ buffalo bull ʼ (or < raṅku -- ?).(CDIAL 10538, 10559) Rebus: raṅga3 n. ʻ tin ʼ lex. [Cf. nāga -- 2 , vaṅga -- 1 ] Pk. raṁga -- n. ʻ tin ʼ; P. rã̄g f., rã̄gā m. ʻ pewter, tin ʼ (← H.); Ku. rāṅ ʻ tin, solder ʼ, gng. rã̄k; N. rāṅ, rāṅo ʻ tin, solder ʼ, A.

Three long linear strokes: kolom 'three' rebus: kolimi 'smithy, forge'. Thus, the one-horned young bull with this ligature of buffalo horns and three long linear strokes signifies the workshop or smithy/forge where the artisan works.
On the examples of Banawali and Dholavira composite animals, a horned person is also ligatured. I suggest that he signifies khār 'blacksmith'.with a workshop: koḍ 'horn' rebus: koḍ 'workshop'. On both examples, the smith is shown with his hand raised; this hieroglyph signifies: eraka 'shoulder, raised hand' rebus: eṟaka, eraka any metal infusion; molten state' fusion (Kannada), eraka molten, cast (as metal). Thus, he is an artisan-smith who knows the cire perdue (lost wax) casting method.
