Consider the following statements regarding Harappan seal manufacturing:
1. The vast majority of standard square seals were crafted from soft soapstone technically known as steatite.
2. While various animals are masterfully depicted, the representation of a humpless single-horned creature (unicorn) is statistically the most dominant motif.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
