of light makes it evident that a representation of the sun or moon divinity was intended. As the
total number of small seated figures in the two circular rows surrounding this medallion is twenty-
six, and a broken portion of the ceiling towards the entrance leaves room for two more, the conclusion
naturally suggests itself that a representation of the twenty-eight Nakṣatras or lunar mansions
was intended. The use of this motif for the decoration of temple ceilings is illustrated in a number
of shrines which Professor Grünwedel has examined at Turfān and Shōrchuk and described with
care.¹⁸ This interpretation is supported by the fact that among the short Brāhmī inscriptions
recognizable by the side of some of the figures seated amidst the tracery, the name of Rohiṇī, one of
the Nakṣatras, could be read with certainty.
Below the second row of these figures the ceiling in its present state retained towards the north- Removal of

floating through the air, with the banderoles of the head-dress fluttering behind. The ground of
the painted ceiling was formed of a fairly hard plaster, mixed cement-like with small pieces of gravel.
Small wooden pegs driven into the rock served to secure this plastering. The removal of the whole
painted ceiling was the only means of saving this fine piece of decorative art from risks of further
destruction. Owing to the position and the hardness of the plaster, this operation offered consider-
able practical difficulty, which, however, was successfully overcome by Naik Shamsuddin's skill
and devoted care. Only when the twenty-one panels in which the painted surface of the ceiling
was removed shall have been set up once again at New Delhi in their proper position,¹⁸ᵃ will it be
possible to render a full account of this remarkably graceful composition.
Finally mention may be made here of a series of small objects which were acquired at Toyuk Antiquities
by purchase. The statements made as to their provenance from the ruins above the village were acquired at
probably true in most cases. But there can be little doubt that the two interesting stucco figurines, Toyuk.
Toy. 049–50 (Pl. CII), representing mail-clad warriors, and also the three hats in stucco, 051–3
(Pl. CII), were obtained from graves, as our finds in the Astāna cemetery furnished exact counter-
parts. Apart from these remains, the brass disc Toy. 063 (Pl. XI), showing in relief the animals
symbolic of the twelve years' cycle with their Chinese names, may be specially noted. The pro-
venance of the coins purchased at Toyuk is also uncertain. Twelve of them are T'ang issues, six
show Sung Nien-haos ranging from A. D. 1008 to 1056, and the remaining fourteen belong to the
Manchu period.
[I have as yet no information as regards the fragments of Chinese MSS. found in the course
of our excavations at Toyuk. But among the pieces of such materials acquired at Toyuk,
M. Maspero has kindly brought to my notice one (Toy. 042) which is of distinct antiquarian
interest. It contains the closing portion of the 18th chapter of the Chinese version of the Prajñā-
pāramitā, together with a colophon. In this the copyist states that the MS. was written in the
39th year of the Yen-ch'ang regnal period, corresponding to A.D. 599, by order of Ch'ü Han-ku
麴韓固, king of Kao-ch'ang. The full Chinese titles of the king are given, and also a rendering
of what appears to be his indigenous Turkish designation. The name of this king, according
to M. Maspero, fills the gap previously found in the regnal list of the Ch'ü dynasty ruling at
Kao-ch'ang previous to the T'ang conquest.]
