Sec. iv]   LIST OF ANTIQUES EXCAVATED AT `MINE-OI' SITE   1211

Mi. xi. 00126. Stucco relief fr. of frieze of building with acroteria ; see Mi. xi. 001 27. Between two borders of nail-head moulding is row of appliqué rosettes on yellow (?) field ; above, acroterion, triangular, with stepped sides, having scroll design on front. Cf. Mi. xii. 0028 ; Yo. 02 ; and Foucher, L'art du Gandhdra, i. Fig. 99. Acroterion Iv 2g'; total 5" long x 31". Pl. CXXXVII.

Mi. xi. 00127. Stucco relief fr. ; architectural. Corner of roof of building. From a roughly modelled mass representing the roof proper project two sq. beam-ends, each decorated with a framed quatrefoil of Gandhara style ; from each hangs an elaborate orn., Ii" long, consisting of three narrow rings, a ball, a single ring, and a long tassel with spreading ends. On beam-ends rests a narrow moulded member, showing a line of nail-head dots between plain borders. If Mi. xi. 00126 forms, as is probable, part of the same whole, this moulding was the lower frame of a 4" frieze decorated with formal rosettes with a similar moulding above, over which rose stepped acroteria or battlements decorated with a balanced design of spiral lines incised within a plain border.

Traces of dark blue on beam-ends, and of red on tassels (cf. Mi. xii. 0035-3) ; frieze border yellow (?) ; acroteria green and dark red (perhaps alternately). Cf. Mi. xi 00128 ; for tassel pendants ; see Mi. x. 0028-33 ; xi. 00129-33, 00136 ; xii. 0031-3 ; for acroteria, Mi. xii. 0028. Front face 5" long, side face 3". H. of pendant 2" ; with frieze and acroteria 5". Pl. CXXXVII.

Mi. xi. 00129-83. Five stucco relief frs. Tassel pendants from frieze of building ; see Mi. xi. 00127. 00133 is identical, but others on larger scale, viz. 4" x

Mi. xi. 00134. Stucco relief fr. Tree or plant ; at top leaves curve out about a flat end in centre of which is hole. Prob. used as base of fig. ; cf. Mi. xiii. 005.

,Mi. xi. 00138. Stucco relief fig. of horse and rider. . Legs,of horse missing, and whole of rider except arms clasped round horse's neck. These bare from elbow

(where broken) and wearing three bracelets. Hands carefully made and nails marked.

Fig. probably fitted into a corner, for L. p. side was not (apparently) worked. If it was it is all missing, and the body is cut square across rump. Arched neck turned outwards, and mane cropped as in Greek art. Ears chipped off; eyes wide open, mouth shut ; nostrils dilated. Core hole (for plume) visible between ears and under neck.

Harness consists of head-stall (no bit) of plain leather, with bell behind ear ; tracing of beaded work from which hang alternate bells and tassels ; breeching similarly decorated ; double-peaked saddle with rounded saddle-cloth, and stirrup-leathers ; no sign of girth, under-side being left rough. For `horse millinery ', cf. Ancient Kholan, ii. Pl. LIX, D. vii. 5.

Horse is of rather stocky breed, thick-set in body, thick in neck, with small head. The legs (cf. Mi. xii. 0023-4) seem to have been rather long and slender in proportion ; in this it differs from the Shansi-Honan pottery figs. (T'ang

dynasty), ' which it otherwise resembles.   Work very
realistic and vivacious. Length ro" ; H. g'. Pl. CXXXVI.

Mi. xi. 00189. Stucco relief fig. of horse. Same scale as Mi. xi. 001 38 and probably pair to it, only L. side being worked, and rump similarly cut square. Harness similar.
