7. YING-P'AN.
Ying-p'an is situated on the border between the Lop-nor and the Quruq-tagh regions. On the way from Shindi to Tikenliq, in April 1928, one afternoon was spent there, and the ruins of stupas as well as the circumvallation were visited. KozLov had discovered them in 1893, and they had afterwards been searched by STEIN. I did not undertake any excavation. Near to the east of the circular fortress a few pottery fragments were picked up from the ground together with the small bronze buckle Pl. 15 2.
Afterwards, when I had returned to Shindi, ABDURAHIM handed over a bronze mirror to me as a present to Dr. HEDIN, his old master. ABDURAHIM had found this mirror (Pl. 15 : 4), which is of a common type with dragon and tiger motif, near the graves excavated by STEIN. His statement as to its origin is completely reliable.
