Ch. xxii. ooi. a. Fr. of painted wooden panel (strip from centre) showing Buddha seated in meditation on lotus. Finished at top and bottom with bands of black and red. Rough work. On the cut-down sides are carelessly written Chin. inscriptions, illegible. 1' II" x 21" x A".
Ch. xxii. 002. Silk painting representing Six-armed Avalokilesvara (tivan-yin), seated, with attendants and donors. Complete border of coarse grey lines with suspension loops preserved ; painting badly broken and worn. Dress, pose, and accessories of chief fig. generally as in *Ch. 00102 ; lotus rising from small tank with altar in front. Upper hands hold up discs of Sun and Moon ; Sun in L. hand containing three-legged bird, Moon in R. showing roughly drawn tree, hare and mortar, and frog. Middle hands in vitarka-mudrd on either side of breast ; lower on knees, R. hand with fingers closed as though grasping rosary, L. hand in bhùmisparsa-mudrd.
A. has one head only, and wears Dhyâni-buddha on tiara. Attendants consist of Bodhisattvas only,kneeling one above the other, two a side, with hands in adoration, on lotuses which rise also on long stems from tank. They have no distinctive attributes; all, like Avalok., wear ' Indian ' type of dress. Drawing hasty ; colouring throughout of dress, haloes, vesicas, and lotuses restricted to dull crimson, dark green, and grey on greenish ground, with red-brown for altar-vessels and jewellery.
Lower end of painting contains central panel (blank) for dedicatory inscr. and donors—two women kneeling on L. and two men on R.—with narrow cartouche, also blank, before each. Two women 'and second man have same costumes and head-gear as in *Ch. 0o10z, and of same colours. Other man's dress seems to be of same fashion, but with colours reversed.

Tiara three-leaved, but has red head-piece within circlet covering hair to base of top-knot, where other upstanding gold orns. appear. Flesh shaded pink on whitish grey of gauze ; all outlines black.
