K.K. ii. 0260. w. Fr. of embroidered silk. There
appear to be three layers of silk fabric ; the back or lowest
a finely woven plain cloth ; the next inwoven with a thick
'tram' warp with widely spaced thin weft ; the third
a sort of crazy gauze of stoutish yarn evenly woven with
a sort of 'oatmeal' texture.
The embroidery worked mostly in kind of long feather-
stitch right through the three thicknesses. Pattern is
floral with large lily-like flowers and large broad leaves ;
only colours now recognizable are white, green, blue, and
a rich brown. Very ragged and discoloured. 6″×5½″.

top R. and remainder of ground covered with cloud. Well
drawn. 4½″×3″. Pl. LXIV.

hsia text, decorated along top edge and across centre with

petals. Simple treatment and rather rough work. Paper

monkish figure with hands together and having a plain
nimbus encircled by clouds. To L. of altar and approaching
it, a standing figure in profile in long spotted robe, bare
feet resting on small lotus, hands together and back slightly
bent. Features rather large. Head-dress perhaps a crown
or floral, with snake rising from it. Plain nimbus.
Behind figure a confused mass of forms badly abraded
but showing animal heads and many grotesque faces.
Clouds in foreground. A railing in background with
banana plant to L. In top L. corner an inscription in
six lines of Hsi-hsia. Crudely but interesting. Paper
buff and worn. 7½″×3½″. Pl. LXIII.

Lower third decayed. Paper buff and in good condition.
6½″×4″. Pl. LXV.

K.K. ii. 0265. b. Three paper leaves, of a book and a
small square piece. Two of leaves printed in Hsi-hsia ;

It shows a crowd of fifteen figures all in adoration inclined
to R. Figures are arranged in five rows of three each.
Front row all kneeling, one to R. probably female in be-
seeching pose on lotus pattern mat. Other two on ground,
the centre one with long beard and ox-head (?) crest.
In next row, figure to R. has Western crown. Third row,
to L. perhaps Hanuman. Fourth row, figure to R. aged
with upward streaming hair. Centre figure has long lank
hair and seems to be cutting his head or banging it with

Hsi-hsia text. One, a broad sheet divided by cutting
down centre at lower half ; the other a narrower leaf.
The broad leaf has two rows of seated Buddhas similar
to K.K. ii. 0227. b (Pl. LXV), but execution like K.K. ii.
0238. b (Pl. LXV). Originally twelve figures in each of two
rows. The narrower leaf, torn away at L. edge, has eight
figs. remaining across centre and two at top. Paper buff,
torn and becoming woolly. Gr. fr. 7½″×8″.

K.K. ii. 0266. p. Fr. of paper leaf, with Hsi-hsia text
ornamented along top with row of seated Buddha figs.
and divided into columns by 'baluster' ornament.
Different from other examples with similar scheme of
enrichment. The whole is in line-work with no solid black
masses, as for example black hair and backgrounds. Figs.
are of the same general type as in K.K. ii. 0293. a,
but simplified. They are wearing voluminous robes with
R. p. arms and chests bare, excepting for fold drawn over
R. p. shoulders.
In each space between figs. and hanging to top line of
page is half of eight-petalled rosette enclosed by single
semicircular line on which are strung pearls and a small
rosette. At lowest point from this depends a vertical line
with pearls, terminating in a flower-like tassel. Below
each fig. a three-cusped arch rests on baluster columns,
the face of arch ornamented with closely set two-lobed
petals. In spandrel a half-rosette against horizontal line.
Within arch, a pair of small curtains looped up as 'swags',
