with white patches on sides of neck and quarters, and black
spots over all. Muzzle pale pink ; eyes black with dark
grey eyeball ; fetlocks white. Hogged mane painted in
black on the clay ; but forelock of grass fibre gummed on
forehead.

Tail, forefeet, and both hind legs lost, and top of head
with ears. Body and neck have core of straw ; legs, cores
of straight wooden sticks. No hole under body for external
prop, as in smaller horses ; but also no hole for core of
rider, in saddle.

Saddle and Numdah of same pattern as in 014, &c., and
brightly decorated. Saddle black with orange-coloured
seat orn. with black rosettes ; Numdah, orange and blue
ground, orn. with semicircle of 'enclosed palmettes' in
black, orange, mauve, blue, and emerald green, and black
and white border. Strips of white silk, for stirrup-leathers
(?), are attached to sides of saddle. For stirrups found
detached, see Ast. iii. 2. 011.

No other trappings are shown ; but round hind quarters
and breast a row of pear-shapes, cut out of yellow silk
and pasted on the body along line which crupper and
breast-band would have followed. For this type of decora-
tion on horse-trappings, cf. Anc. Khotan, ii. Pl. LIX,
D. vii. 5, and tassels on similar horses. Three similar
shapes are pasted on forehead, and each side of head ;
and one on tip of nose.

Good condition generally, except for cracks. For horse
similar to this, see following, iii. 2. 058. H. c. 2' 2″.
Pl. XCVII.

Ast. iii. 2. 058. Clay horse, pair to the preceding, but
with mouth open and nostrils distended, neighing. Teeth
are shown, and tongue drawn back in utterance of sound.
Face very thin. Top of head and L. foreleg lost. Painted
maroon, with white patches (maroon-spotted) on quarters,
and sides of neck, but no black spots. Muzzle pink ;
nostrils and jowl light red ; teeth and roof of mouth white ;
fetlocks white, turning through pink striped with black
to black hoofs. Mane not painted, but made of white
hair gummed into groove along upper edge of neck. Tail
of clay (broken off), painted maroon, and represented as
tied up in projecting knob, with knot of white hair gummed
on within the tip.

Saddle and Numdah as in 057, with yellow silk stirrup-
leathers. Saddle orange, orn. with outline hexagonal
diaper in red, and scattered lozenge-shaped rosettes of
composite pattern in emerald green, pink, orange, and dull
blue picked out with black and white.

Remains of five straps on each side of saddle, originally
plum-colour silk. Four of these on each side are equally
spaced, the fifth being rather broader and placed with
wider interval, towards back of saddle. The grouping
is correct, but is sometimes ignored in roughly made
models or drawings.

Numdah has red ground, and is gaily decorated with
elaborate palmette and flower pattern representing
embroidery, in same colours as saddle. Colouring very
fresh. No trace of silk hearts of iii. 2. 057. Strips of yellow

silk attached for stirrup-leathers ; for stirrups found
detached, see Ast. iii. 2. 011.

Cracked about junction of head and neck, but condition
generally good except for loss of leg ; and head expressive.

Ast. iii. 2. 059. Clay demon, from entrance of tomb ; of
T'u-kuei type. Sits erect on haunches, with head up,
mouth open, roaring, and forelegs planted firmly apart.
Feather-shaped tail also stiffly erect. Body and head
doubtless have straw core like horses preceding ; fore-
legs have stick cores.

Body is of lion type ; head like dragon's, with short
broad muzzle, and huge round protruding eyes under
heavy brows. Ears broken off. Eyebrows sweep back
in thick up-curling green lock behind eyes ; and under
chin is beard of three swinging locks, of orange and
green, furrowed with black. From outer corner of each
eye is painted ruff (?), a white band striped with black,
following curve of wrinkles behind back-drawn corners of
mouth. Wrinkles marked by grooves, but not painted.

From shoulders spring two pairs of narrow curving
wings or plumes of painted wood, inserted into the clay.
One pair are painted dark blue, the other terra-cotta, and
both are preserved on L. shoulder but broken away from
R. ; terra-cotta wing from latter is, however, preserved
separate. Long locks of hair, moulded in the clay and
painted blue, spring from hind leg.

Tail, in shape of stiff heavy 'brush', ridged down middle
like a quill, is made of clay with strong wooden foundation,
and stands up erect at back. Under-surface painted pink
with red spots ; upper in variegated V-shaped bands of
blue, orange, green, and pink, picked out with white and
black.

Body and legs generally have brilliant orange ground,
covered with large round green spots having brown outline
and black centres ; brown spots are interspersed between
the green. From chin, right down middle of body, runs
a broad pink band spotted with red and outlined by narrow
stripes of white and pale yellow striped with black. Fet-
locks also are yellow, black-striped, and cloven hooves
of hind feet slate blue. Hooves of forefeet are lost. Eyes
have red balls, and irises of rings of white, black, yellow,
and black, with green pupil.

No mane. Backs of forelegs 'feathered' with variegated
hair as in tail. Nostrils and outline of mouth black ; gums
and tongue red ; teeth white, carefully made with long
canine teeth.

fresh. H. 2′ 1″. Pl. XCVI.

Colour buff and texture coarse. 4½″ × 2½″.

Ast. iii. 3. 02. Fr. of silk muslin ; yellow with painted
spot pattern of four-petalled flower in lighter shade. The
