This is a pictograph of a lotus bud, with the addition of some cross-hatching. Cross-hatching represents the colour of red ochre¹. Hence, Mahadevan's sign number 380 means red bud or red lotus.

Comment:
There is only one extant example of this Indus sign.
The sign is roughly half the character area in height.
Indus Inscription C-40 is a good example of the importance of context to the decipherment process. In the inscription, Mahadevan's sign number 380 is associated with lotus flower stems. Hence, we can infer that sign number 380 is a lotus bud.
