10I2 CAVE-TEMPLES & ANTIQUES OF

THE THOUSAND BUDDHAS [Ch. XXV

in roll round their necks and decked with flowers. Colouring dingy, consisting only of dark greenish brown, grey, red, and dark yellow, and drawing coarse. Blank cartouche (for inscr.) on L. edge. R. lower corner lost and part of R. edge ; remainder well preserved. 1' 'or X 1' 3k". Pl. XCI.

Ch. i. 0018. Paper painting with Chin. inscr. showing Six-armed Avalokilesuara (Kuan-yin), seated, without attendants. He sits on red-tipped Padmasana, with legs interlocked ; upper hands hold up resp. Vajra-topped and skull-headed mace ; middle hands in vilarka-mudrii on either side of breast; lower hands lie on knees, R. palm downwards with first finger bent, L. palm uppermost with thumb, second and third fingers joined. Dhyani-buddha on front of head-dress.

General type as in *Ch. 00102, etc.; but drawing coarse and colouring limited to dull green, slate-blue, pink, orange-red, and pale yellow. Flesh uncoloured. Inscr. on cartouche to L. of head containing salutation to Kuan-yin. Torn and broken. Paper loops, for attachment to wall, are sewn with grass string along top and bottom. z' 9a" x

Ch. i. 0020. Silk banner, complete except för one side streamer ; companion to Ch. i. oox T. Body made of three sections : plain blue silk ; white silk damask woven small lozenge lattice-work ; and fine red woollen or cotton twill fabric, with bamboo strainers at junctions. Streamers extant and suspension loop are of loosely woven light blue silk; weighting-board as in Ch. i. oorr.

Head-piece shows frs. of three different figured silks, two forming field and one border on one side ; border on other side of plain bright green silk. All figured silks well preserved, but frs. too small to show complete design. Largest fr. in field of triangle is woven in firm satin twill, and has white ground. On this a pattern of chevron bands touching at their points and forming lozenges. Bands made of five rows of round salmon-coloured dots (faded); in lozenge here complete an elliptical star also in salmon, outlined with light green. This alternated with another centre pattern, here too fragmentary to be reconstructed.

Both other figured silks loosely woven in style of Ch. 0076. One in triangle shows part of curving floral (?) pattern, in dull crimson on bluish-green ground ; one forming border shows bold floral pattern, also fragmentary, in bright grass-green, red, and white on indigo ground. The colour is striking, and treated on the flowers as in much of embroidered and painted floral work ; e. g. in large round lotus-like flowers with double ray of petals, the- inner ray is indigo, the outer grass-green with red centre and indigo spot at base, both spot and green outer edge being outlined with narrow line of white. Other flowers, with eight narrow pointed petals and sepals showing between, are white with red outlines and indigo centre to petal. Leaves white outlined with red, or grass-green outlined with white and veined with red.

The triangle lined with faded purple silk damask, woven with chevron bands in twill touching at their points and forming lozenges of plain weave, in centre of which again are smaller lozenges in twill. Length of whole 4' 3', width 6". (Head-piece) Pl. CX.

Ch. i. 0022. Banner, complete with triangular top, streamers, and weighting-board. Body of loosely woven silk printed with gamboge ground, and pattern of repeating spots, round or lozenge-shaped, in red. The round spots consist of two cranes with outspread wings, and heads to centre, whirling in circle, with tendrils filling spaces in circumference. See Ch. 00'79, etc. The lozenge-shaped groups, whose tips join enclosing the circles, are formed of open many-petalled flowers and tendrils. For general type of design, see above, p. 905. Head-piece and streamers are of loosely woven red silk damask, with pattern of small repeating lozenges; suspension loop of fine firmly woven white silk damask with pattern of repeating concentric lozenge groups.

Across bottom of banner proper, written in ink, 2i 11. of Khotanese in Brahmi chars., read by Dr. Tloernle as follows :... pasi salya rarttyi inasta 26 mye hadai—myai and yi pasta haiste beysû sta s`rvi (brvi?) ysi (?) harbliai avama prra ysi
