Bodies of wood, only roughly shaped, with sticks for legs glued on and (in a) bound round also with bast. No arms, though body of b is shaped at top to suggest shoulders. Heads of fine clay, carefully moulded and painted, and in excellent condition.

(a) is that of man, painted pinkish flesh-colour, with long slightly oblique eyes, short snub nose, straight mouth deeply indented at corners, and long straight chin. Expression half cynical, half smiling. Mouth painted vermilion. Eyes, eyelids, eyebrows, wrinkles on forehead and crows-feet, drooping moustache, tuft of beard, and beginning of hair at ears, very carefully and skilfully drawn in fine lines of black. Hair at ears disappears under close-fitting black cap, which covers whole of head and rises up at back in flattened lobe, while on neck it finishes in two short black tails ; cf. many examples in Chien-fo-tung paintings, e. g. Ser. iv. PI. LXXVI, Ch. 0030.

Head of (b), perhaps woman or youth, is painted glossy white, with pink on cheeks and eyelids and in two rings round neck. Black eyes and eyebrows, short straight nose, and small red mouth. No wrinkles or moustache.

Head-dress same as in (a), but for absence of tails on neck. Both figs. must have been clothed, but only remains consist of torn buff silk trouser-leg on L. leg of (a).

Head carefully modelled on to upper end of body in very fibrous clay coated with smooth plaster ; painted sallow flesh colour with narrow downward curving eyes outlined black ; faint moustache ; pink lips ; black cap rising at back in flattened lobe with two tabs pendent behind.

Overhanging brows ; broad, flat slightly retroussé nose with large nostrils. Mouth hitched up to R. p. with deep downward furrows from corners, giving humorous expression. Ears roughly indicated. Muscles of neck slightly modelled. For hat, see Ast. iii. 4. 072. a-b (b without tabs) and Ser. iv., Pl. CIV, Ch, 00260 ; LXXVI, Ch. 0030. 21" x 2". Pl. CII.
