472 THE ETSIN-GOL DELTA AND THE RUINS OF KHARA-KHOTO [Chap. XIII

MISCELLANEOUS OBJECTS RECOVERED AT RUINED SHRINE K.K. II.

K.K. II. oI. Carved wooden figure of standing Buddha in Abhaya-mudra. Head and both hands missing ; feet together slightly out-turned and resting on green lotus. Three garments are visible. An upper robe, red, is wrapped round body, over L. shoulder and arm, hanging in straight line down L. side of leg nearly to ankle ; at this level it shows a horizontal edge round back, and an oblique line in front upwards from R. to L., the line of upper edge crossing breast being parallel. The upper line at back runs from L. shoulder downward to below R. arm. A corner of same robe hangs from forearm to back of L. thigh.

A second robe, green, covers breast and back to neck and R. arm, and hangs in heavy loop from arm to near ankle. Covering lower legs and ankles is third robe, purple, heavily pleated and reaching to lotus at back. On this, in front are two white pendent bands, ends of girdle. Round neck hangs massive carcanet, gold, studded with rosette jewels. Folds in drapery very few and formal, being merely grooves.

At each shoulder is stump of an upward projection, red, which may have supported nimbus. Neck and feet gilded. Seen from side, figure is too flat, but the backward curve from feet to shoudlers conveys great dignity. From front the resemblance to twelfth-cent. Gothic statuary is most striking.

Lotus chipped ; corner of red robe, burnt ; crack down front. Height Io1", width 2" ; thickness front to back
