Ast. ix. 2. 054. Painted silk hanging. Silk is now dark ivory colour, perhaps originally white. Subject, the legendary Emperor Fu-hsi with his consort, Nü-wa, facing each other :2" to L. and R. respectively ; about life-size. The bodies rise from a continuous flounce-like short white skirt, and lean away from each other.

Their two inner arms stretched stiffly and horizontally towards each other and fused into the appearance of one arm joining both bodies ; but the hand of each appearing under opposite armpit of other shows that they are embracing.

Both wear close-fitting dull red tunics fastened down centre, with wide-mouthed elbow sleeves. Fu-hsi holds in his uplifted L. hand a mason's square and two other objects not recognizable, but perhaps plummet and lines. Nü-wa holds in her R. uplifted hand a pair of compasses.

Lower edge of their combined skirt is a perfectly straight horizontal line. From below issue two intertwined serpentine bodies which coil round each other guilloche-wise three times, and then open out into two simple tapering tails. Serpentine body is composed of parallel, longitudinal bands of white, black, red, and yellow, each band ornamented with dots or pearls of a contrasting colour, black, white, or red. Sometimes an undulating black line is used instead of pearls.

Between heads is the sun disc, white with red spokes and outlined with red. Outside and surrounding it is a ring of small white discs, outlined red and linked by a single red line ; probably representing a constellation. In triangle formed by bodies and their fused arms, in the space between their tails, and down the two sides of the cloth are other constellations. The Great Bear is to the R.

Flesh white with red shading, and red spots on cheeks

and ear-like white strips beside face.   Hair of Fu-hsi
dressed high and smooth. On front, sloping downward and forward towards forehead, is a square white cloth (?), cross-hatched with black.

Upper part of face and most of hair of consort missing ; but the top which remains suggests a three-lobed coiffure, as in Ast. ix. 2. b. 012, Pl. CVIII.

Outlines all black, and most of the red has turned black, e. g. the spots on cheeks.

Silk of fine close texture, but perished and ragged ; in
