OBJECTS FOUND

D. v. i. MS. on paper; Brähmi; No. 24. One small fragment ; from middle of leaf. — Note xi. No. 24. Belongs to a leaf of a MS. in non-Sanskritic (ProtoTibetan ?), and very large upright Gupta characters of the seventh or eighth century. Compare No. 20 from D. ni, but probably a different MS. [Dr. Hoernle.]

D. v. 2. MS. on paper ; Brähmi ; No. 25. One very small fragment, from middle of leaf.—Note xii. No. 25. Belongs to a leaf of a n'IS. in non-Sanskritic (ProtoTibetan ?) and upright Gupta characters of the seventh or eighth century. Paper stiff, and coloured a yellowish tint ; the fragment suggests itself as belonging to the MS. described in my Report, ii. p. 20, No. 3. Contents: apparently a Buddhist canonical work. [Dr. Hoernle.]

D. v. 3. Inscribed wooden tablet, 94" long, 2i" high, â" thick, rounded off on left with small hole for string. Four lines of cursive Brähmi characters on one side only, commencing on the round side of tablet. Language :

R. p. half pendant at R. side. Large thick rings in ears. Background white (?). Flesh dark. Figure is perhaps attendant of next personage. Second : Rat-headed figure, head, profile to R. p. wearing diadem. Robe red with small 'powdered' pattern in white dots. Border at neck, blue. Band round arms blue. Flesh dark yellow. R. p. hand at breast, L. p. half pendant. Background pink (?). The surrounding elliptical arches to both figures are a broad Indian red band, and outside it a thin line. The background between the arches, pale pink, with diaper of simple crosses (like + signs) in Indian red. Two end portions of panel much deleted, but there appears to have been a figure to L. p. with deep red robe, black hair, light flesh. Arch over this figure cuts into that of rat-headed figure, while there is a space of more than i" between the next two. There appears to be marks of purple dye (Sinatra?) in places. See Plate LXIII.

Nimbus. 4th : from R. p. three-quarter face to R. p. ; niche pale green ; nimbus dark, outlined white. 5th : Same pose, top-knob Q); niche pink ; nimbus pale green, outlined white. Spandrils between

D. iv. 6. MS. on paper; Brähmi; No. 23. Two documents, attached to one another, top to top.—Note x. No. 23. These two pieces appear to make up only one document, inscribed on both sides.

Reverse retains in part its original round form, flattened by cutting from a little above middle to lower end. On this flattened part Chinese writing by two different hands. There appear to be five Chinese symbols in the upper section written with coarse brush and rather clumsy hand ; and seven in the lower much more delicately written. Wood perishing. Length about i3", width about i". See Plate CVI.
