in horizontal and vertical lines and are of two sizes. The
larger, approximately circular, has the edges very slightly
scalloped to form an octofoil 1⅓″ in diameter.
The smaller is a quatrefoil ⅓″ in diameter, and four of
these are placed at even distances (about 1⅓″ centre to
centre) about each large spot. The groups of five spots
are repeated at distance of about 2⅓″ centre to centre of
large spots. The small spots have each a yellow centre.
The large spots have two circular, yellow, five-petalled
rosettes vertically one above the other and about 1″ in
diameter. R. and L. are two similar reversed foliate
scrolls in black. Gr. fr. (gauze) 8″ × 3½″.

Face elderly, full, with long moustaches and lank beard
and whiskers. R. elbow raised as though resting on some-
thing, forearm across body bringing hand in front of chest.

K.K. II. 0247. a, b; 0275. a. xi. Three frs. of block-
printed paper picture. Very confused and bad impres-
sion from coarse block. Largest fr., K.K. 0275. a. xi, has

rounded by rocks or a rugged tree, looking to R. towards
a heavily draped 'altar' standing on lotuses. Clouds

and ragged. 15″ × 9″.

K.K. II. 0247. d. Fr. of drawing on paper. All below
breast missing. Part of male figure in loose robe open
in long narrow loop at chest. Face ⅓ to L. is that of
elderly man with narrow Mongol eyes and eyebrows
sloping up towards centre. Small mouth, no beard or
moustache. He grasps a branch of peony in his R. hand
and seems to be holding it near nose as though to smell the
scent. L. hand not visible.
From level of L. cheek-bone a curved line springs outward
and upward as though to form a short nimbus, but after
turning slightly inward above temple lifts up into a sort of
Uṣṇīṣa. A mass of leaves and flowers rests upon the pro-
tuberance, partly covering the line which reappears on
its downward curve to R. The outline of L. side of face,
after reaching the temple, turns across top of forehead in
large scallops. Halo has a concave trefoil indentation.
The features of face are drawn in a very beautiful free
line and the drawing of nose is extremely fine. Face,
hand and flowers are drawn with a fine-pointed brush ;
the drapery, with a coarser brush in free bold lines. Paper
dark buff and very ragged and torn. There are four
inscriptions in Hsi-hsia (?) characters : one in top L.
corner of paper ; one to L. of peony held in the hand ;
one written obliquely on drapery just below opening at
chest ; fourth on drapery at L. p. shoulder. 15″ × 14″.

K.K. II. 0247. e. Sheet of paper, with two detached
drawings or tracings. One is a standing figure with
muscular body and limbs of warrior, clothed only in ample
loin-cloth tied with girdle round hips and hanging in rich
folds to knees in front and rather longer where it drifts
out behind. A rich jewel rests on chest tied by narrow cloth
bands of which four long ends float in the air R. and L.
Pose is a spiral twist from knees upward. Lower legs in
profile to L. ; head ⅔ to R. L. p. arm upraised with hand
clenched. R. p. arm drawn slightly back and held at
R. p. side, so that shoulders, wrist and clenched hand only
show. A pair of bangles on L. p. wrist.
Face torn away, but seems to have issued from gaping
jaws of a lion whose head and mane form head-dress.
Drawing very free and skilful and shows observation of
anatomy.
