printed black lines, turning them grey ; the eyes afterwards
reinforced with black, and eyebrows with grey, brush
work. This is also used freely to soften contour lines and
give additional folds to drapery.
Paper is double, of wove texture, discoloured to dark
buff and much fly-marked. All edges torn or rotten ;
R. heel of second figure and farther trestle of bench
missing ; two large holes eaten through near figures.
A sharp knife-cut has divided the picture (now joined)
between figures. R. edge, best preserved, has strip of
paper pasted over it, either marking the connexion with
a continuation, or denoting the limit of picture in that
direction or both. Very fine design. H. 13″, width 7¼″.
Pl. LXXIII.

Kao. 06-9. Three frs. of painted paper. Three frs.
and one of cursive Uigur (?) script. Painted pieces backed

male and female, kneel ¾ to R. p., the man with close-cropped
black hair, hands together, and dressed in robe of Buddhist
monk. Woman, to his L. p., in red dress and probably
long hair. They turn towards a red throne (corner only
present) above which portion of red-robed figure (?) on
green lotus. Above, a robed figure, nimbate, in attitude
of adoration. On smaller fr. two heads and part of third,
nimbate, of adoring figures. Traces of other figures on
all three frs. Very ragged and defaced. Drawing delicate

Kao. 011. Frs. of fine bamboo matting. Made of split
strips of bamboo with alternate strands of silk laid side by
side as a warp and bound together by closely woven weft
of silk yarn, as in Ser. iv. Pl. CVI, MS. roll-cover Ch. xx. 006,
and ii. p. 1014, Ch. iii. 0012. a-b. Weaving here covered
whole of mat. Ground yellow, with symmetrical cloud

Kao. 012. Stucco and wood, colossal R. hand, gilded ;
fingers extended, index finger advanced slightly in front
of others. Fingers with long nails all made of wood, each
a separate piece ; their thick rough roots inserted into
a hollow 'fibrous' stucco palm, and strengthened by extra
bandages of canvas round junctions and palm.
This hollow palm, a mere shell, seems to have been
made on a mould, and is coated with c. ¼″ white plaster,
perfectly smooth and gilded. The mould would seem to
have been of the nature of a movable core, and the external
plaster to have been applied after the fingers were in posi-
tion. Fingers coated very thinly as they are fully modelled
in the wood. The whole represents a completely worked
out technique. 12⅜″×7″. Pl. VIII.

head forms in plan (outline) a quatrefoil imposed on a
square ; the quatrefoil being formed of four four-sided
pyramidal points, which project horizontally from the four
sides of central rectang. body. But these sides are them-
selves cut inwards to give more prominence to the leaves
of the quatrefoil, so that the eight (upper and lower)
corners of the rectangular body form in their turn eight
short three-sided pyramidal points.
A simple ring moulding connects head—below, with short
round tang or shank ; above, with dome-shaped member
which expands again into small mushroom knob. Cf.
