K.K. II. 0247. d. Fr. of drawing on paper. All below breast missing. Part of male figure in loose robe open in long narrow loop at chest. Face ;< to L. is that of elderly man with narrow Mongol eyes and eyebrows sloping up towards centre. Small mouth, no beard or moustache. He grasps a branch of peony in his R. hand and seems to be holding it near nose as though to smell the scent. L. hand not visible.

From level of L. cheek-bone a curved line springs outward and upward as though to form a short nimbus, but after turning slightly inward above temple lifts up into a sort of Usnisa. A mass of leaves and flowers rests upon the protuberance, partly covering the line which reappears on its downward curve to R. The outline of L. side of face, after reaching the temple, turns across top of forehead in large scallops. Halo has a concave trefoil indentation.

The features of face are drawn in a very beautiful free line and the drawing of nose is extremely fine. Face, hand and flowers are drawn with a fine-pointed brush ; the drapery, with a coarser brush in free bold lines. Paper dark buff and very ragged and torn. There are four inscriptions in Hsi-hsia (?) characters : one in top L. corner of paper ; one to L. of peony held in the hand ; one written obliquely on drapery just below opening at chest ; fourth on drapery at L. p. shoulder. 15" x I4I".

K.K. II. 0247. e. Sheet of paper, with two detached drawings or tracings. One is a standing figure with muscular body and limbs of warrior, clothed only in ample loin-cloth tied with girdle round hips and hanging in rich folds to knees in front and rather longer where it drifts out behind. A rich jewel rests on chest tied by narrow cloth bands of which four long ends float in the air R. and L. Pose is a spiral twist from knees upward. Lower legs in profile to L. ; head r to R. L. p. arm upraised with hand clenched. R. p. arm drawn slightly back and held at R. p. side, so that shoulders, wrist and clenched hand only show. A pair of bangles on L. p. wrist.

Face torn away, but seems to have issued from gaping jaws of a lion whose head and mane form head-dress. Drawing very free and skilful and shows observation of anatomy.
