robes, black bordered, head bare and bald. Nearly all of
this figure is missing.

Between these two and farther into the picture is a figure
similar to second, kneeling on mat with rich ornamental
robe. At his side hangs a cord with nine beads widely
spaced and so arranged as to suggest a constellation ; or
it may be a device work upon a strip of cloth which hangs
from his girdle.

Immediately behind him beyond farther edge of mat
an object standing on ground ; it has appearance of a
short slightly curved horn resting base downwards on
small balls. Just above is a label with Hsi-hsia characters,
and to L. of it some flowers.

To L. of mat and touching it is a growth like 'tree-coral'.
