Sec. ii] LIST OF PAINTINGS, TEXTILES

, ETC., FROM CHIEN-FO-TUNG too

Scene 2. Messenger on his guest. He carries red pennon, and horse (here bay with red spots and white mane and tail) gallops to L. Miniature mountains in background.

Scene 3. Messenger's return with report to King (?). Latter seated as before on verandah, while two musicians squatting on mat outside beguile him with flute and pipe.

Scene 4. Unidentified, perhaps part of scene (3). Shows part of enclosure containing lotus tank and bamboo tree, and bounded by high fence. Fence of green wickerwork with red posts and open railing above. In one corner is an entrance, outside which stands a small hexagonal shrine (?) of the same style of architecture as the palace. Through one of its sides is seen oblong yellow object within. Higher up, but detached from King's musicians, kneels man in white coat, playing on set of clappers and gazing towards enclosure.

Painting well preserved, but white paint as usual much lost ; drawing rather less rough than in preceding banners of series. The men wear long belted coats, red or dark purple, and close-fitting black caps with peak standing up at back and two flying tails behind. The messenger has top-boots. The King wears a long robe and over it wide-sleeved jacket in which he muffles his arms. He seems to wear no headdress, but top of his head in both scenes much effaced. Three cartouches only (blank), on alternate edges, opposite scenes (r), (2), and (4). This perhaps shows that scenes (3) and (4) are one. For representation of same -scenes, cf. Ch. xxvi. a. 003 ; xlvi. 004, 007 ; lxi. 002.

Painting I' rot" x q" ; length with head-piece 2' 8'. Thousand Buddhas, PI. XIII.

Ch. xx. o01I. Painted silk banner ; both ends of painting and all accessories lost; remainder broken at edges, but otherwise well preserved, and clean.

Subject : Viriûpâkca, Guardian of the West. Apparently■ a replica of Ch. 0022, *0035 (q. v.). In this instance, head, dull blue halo, red and green clouds, and bells of valance above are preserved complete. But drawing weaker (e.g. in details such as hands and mouth), and colouring pale, so that whole effect is much less vivid and vigorous.

Hair as before is brownish red, and mantle purple.

Colouring consists of light red on skirt, draped breast-girdle, and appliqué discs of corslet, arm-guards, and greaves; pale yellow and green elsewhere. Flesh too is left the light greyish white of silk shaded with very faint pink.
