in A.D. 1226 and the subsequent destruction of Hsi-hsia rule, the first quarter of the thirteenth
century may be accepted as the *terminus ad quem* after which such a deposit could not have been
made. On the other hand, the prevalence of texts in that Hsi-hsia script which was only invented
and introduced by the Tangut ruler Li Yuan-hao about A.D. 1032 precludes an earlier date than
the second half of the eleventh century. It must be hoped that the discovery of dated texts in the
Petrograd collection will make it possible still further to reduce the chronological range between
these two limits.¹²
Small ruins Of the small ruins shown by the plan in Pl. 22 quite close to K.K. II, that to the east consisted
near
K.K. II. only of a brick-built platform about 12 feet square, with the scanty remains of a completely wrecked
superstructure whose character was no longer recognizable. A low mound to the south of K.K. II,
when excavated, disclosed only the badly decayed brick walls of a rectangle measuring 19½ by
21½ feet. The walls were only 1½ foot in thickness, and the bricks measured 12″ × 6″ × 3″. No find
of any sort was made within the interior, which was filled with coarse sand and gravel. The
structure may have served as quarters for attendant priests of the shrine.
Domed The only structure remaining to be described in the immediate vicinity of the town walls is
structure
K.K. VI. the domed building, K.K. VI, seen in Figs. 251, 252. It stands at a distance of about 30 yards to
the south-west of the south-western corner bastion and rises still to its original height of close on
23 feet, though part of the dome on the north side has fallen in. Apart from this and some minor
damage to the side walls, the structure has suffered but little, and still retains most of its original
plastering inside and portions of it also on the outside eastwards. The chief features, as shown by
the plan in Pl. 21, are a domed hall, 18½ feet square, within, and a large vaulted porch projecting
on the east. By means of a succession of projecting niches in the four corners, as seen in Fig. 272,
each terminating in a pointed arch, the square of the hall is reduced to an octagon, which in turn
by a similar device of niches is made to bear the circular drum of the high dome. A corresponding
architectural arrangement is applied to the vaulted portion of the porch. The front of the latter
is given a very massive appearance by the outward slant of its flanking walls. The outer corners
of the walls enclosing the square hall are rounded off into semicircular buttresses, also slanting
outwards, thus creating for the whole an impression of great strength. For other architectural
details the reader may be referred to the photographs and the elevation and sections shown in
Pl. 21. The masonry consists of sun-dried bricks, about 16″ × 8″ × 4″ in size, and its horizontal courses
distinguish it entirely from that used in other buildings of the site.
Muham- The structure in its plan, purpose, and architecture is wholly Western and unmistakably meant
madan
character for a Muhammadan tomb or 'Gumbaz'. Its style is plainly Saracenic, but it must be left to
of structure. others more competent than myself to determine whether the details of style offer any indications
as to date of construction. The interior was found completely empty ; but divers holes in the plaster
flooring and walls showed that 'treasure-seekers' had been at work here too. We know from Marco
Polo's account of the 'Province of Tangut' that towards the close of the thirteenth century, when
Mongol dominion over these parts as well as over the rest of China was fully established, Islām had
its adherents among the population of these north-western marches, though, no doubt, Buddhism
vastly prevailed. It is to this later phase of Khara-khoto's history, when Marco Polo knew it as
the 'City of Etzina', that I am inclined to ascribe the construction of the tomb. Whose mortal
remains it was meant to guard, whether those of some local Muhammadan notable or official, or
