colours on white ground ; subsequently this was covered with canvas.

On front five figs. of Buddha, each seated on lotus throne ; the lower figs. have flame-bordered vesica behind filling up ground space. The two upper figs. are placed radially to edge, the three lower are perpendicular, one below the other. Three arrangements of dress : (a) from R. shoulder mantle is brought straight down to wrist, hiding contours of body, while from L. shoulder it follows closely body and am curves, edge of inner robe diagonal across chest from L. shoulder ; (b) whole drapery close-fitting, the folds regularly looped from both shoulders across middle of chest ; (c) from both shoulders mantle hangs straight to wrists, which rest in its folds ; inner robe diagonal from L. shoulder across chest.

The whole richly gilded and in good preservation, except that one end is charred behind. For fr. of similar arch, see Mi. xxv. 001-002. 2'.o*" x " x 91". PI. CXXVIII.

Mi. xv. 0030 (marked wrongly x. v. oor). Stucco fr. Topknot of head-dress as in type b, *Mi. xi. oo. Curl on L. missing. H.2°.

Mi. xv. 0031 (wrongly marked oor 2). Wooden statuette of Lokapâla. Both feet missing, and both arms below the elbow, where they were bent ; R. shoulder and R. side of head charred away ; nose worn flat. Fig. of much character and dignity ; good specimen of Chinese work of Tang period.

Body thick-set and rather stout, but held very erect ; shoulders thrown back, and legs planted firmly somewhat apart. Face long and clean-shaven with prominent cheekbones, square jaw and long straight mouth giving a decided expression. Head bare with long straight hair drawn up under a fillet and wound in knot on top of head.

Dress that of Lokapalas in the Ch. paintings (see *Ch. ooro, General Note), but scales of coat of mail are not represented. It is finished off by a tagged or kilted fringe at mid-thigh, and beneath appears the inner robe, leaving the knees free and flying in long draperies between and behind legs. Robe also shows at the elbows in long loose sleeves ending in a knot at level of mid-thigh. There is no corslet or breastplate. Over shoulders a mantle, knotted under chin and falling behind in wide flat folds to the ankles. Traces of black paint remain here and there; but the surface is generally much worn. H. 9° ; across shoulders 3k°. Pl. CxxvII.

Mi. xvi. 001-3 and 0014-17. Stucco relief frs. of tiles with Bodhisattva head in centre like Mi. xxiii. 1, but from different mould. Head narrower and in higher relief, with small straight mouth and straight eyes ; holes punched for pupils of eyes, nostrils, and corners of mouth in oor and 0014-17. Small rosette in ears. Hair done in high conical top-knot with large rosette in front, and a half-flower of different type at sides with bud or tassel projecting horizontally from centre. Below these stand out, also horizontally, on either side, a loop of hair (generally on L.) and a small waving lock (generally on R.). Background

Mi. xvi. 004-13. Stucco relief frs. of tiles with Bodhisattva heads in centre as Mi. xvi. oor ; cf. also Mi. xxiii. X. Head-dress identical with that of xvi. oor, but face from different mould.
