I216   KARA-SHAHR AND ITS RUINED SITES   [Chap. XXIX

complete in itself. It consists of a seated monk with another kneeling before him, his hands horizontal in pose of adoration. The seated monk is in yellow robe and green under-robe ; his R. hand in attitude of protection, L. hand on knee. He shows no sign of age like the other seated teachers. In bottom corner adjoining his seat is the corner of a water-tank ; behind remains part of a funnel-shaped green object with yellow rim, perhaps foliage of a tree. The kneeling monk is also young ; he wears a dull greyish-blue robe, and kneels on a vermilion mat. His head is peaked instead of rounded, the forehead receding. In top L. corner remains part of fig. in yellow robe kneeling on white lotus and apparently turned to L.

The rest of the figs. are turned to R. Chief of them is a monk in pale green robe, unhaloed but with red flames on head and shoulders, who sweeps down on clouds from L. The downward motion in this case is strongly emphasized by angle of legs and lower part of body, as compared with that of floating fig. in (2). His R. hand rests on cloud ; his L. is upraised with thumb and forefinger joined and fingers extended. In R. top corner a monk in red-brown robe, kneeling on mat with hands joined (head lost). Behind him rises the trunk of a tree (?) entwined with green leaves; while on extreme R. edge is strip of a similar kneeling fig. in red and green robe.

Below is the kneeling fig. of a boy, prob. last of a row of worshippers. He is dressed in light green long-sleeved coat, sprinkled with large rosettes and girt with vermilion band at hips. He kneels on a checked buff and black mat with his hands together in worship and head slightly raised. Head and face are carefully drawn ; face round and chubby, neck plump; a false outline of cheek has been corrected by a fine sweeping line. Hair is dressed in a peculiar fashion represented with great care. The crown is shaved, leaving only on the forehead a large triangular fringe, parted down the middle. Behind ear hangs long lock tied with red ribbon, with semicircle of small tufts at base.

The flesh of all figs. in (II) and (12) is a pale flesh-colour, tinged in some cases with grey, and quite unshaded. The heads are very well drawn except that of the retouched monk in (I I) ; the hand and arms not so good. Surface considerably worn.
