(a) male, (b) perhaps female or youth. Bodies of wood, only
roughly shaped, with sticks for legs glued on and (in a)
bound round also with bast. No arms, though body of b is
shaped at top to suggest shoulders. Heads of fine clay,
carefully moulded and painted, and in excellent condition.
(a) is that of man, painted pinkish flesh-colour, with
long slightly oblique eyes, short snub nose, straight mouth
deeply indented at corners, and long straight chin. Expres-
sion half cynical, half smiling. Mouth painted vermilion.
Eyes, eyelids, eyebrows, wrinkles on forehead and crows-
feet, drooping moustache, tuft of beard, and beginning of
hair at ears, very carefully and skilfully drawn in fine lines
of black. Hair at ears disappears under close-fitting black
cap, which covers whole of head and rises up at back in
flattened lobe, while on neck it finishes in two short black
tails; cf. many examples in Ch'ien-fo-tung paintings,
e. g. Ser. iv. Pl. LXXVI, Ch. 0030.

Head of (b), perhaps woman or youth, is painted glossy
white, with pink on cheeks and eyelids and in two rings
round neck. Black eyes and eyebrows, short straight nose,
and small red mouth. No wrinkles or moustache.

Head-dress same as in (a), but for absence of tails on
neck. Both figs. must have been clothed, but only remains
consist of torn buff silk trouser-leg on L. leg of (a). For
remains perhaps of other clothes, see Ast. iii. 4. 01–3, 09.
Arms were prob. added in paper as in Ast. iii. 2. 010.

arms intended to be clothed.

Head carefully modelled on to upper end of body in very
fibrous clay coated with smooth plaster; painted sallow
flesh colour with narrow downward curving eyes outlined
black; faint moustache; pink lips; black cap rising at
back in flattened lobe with two tabs pendent below.

Overhanging brows; broad, flat slightly retroussé nose
with large nostrils. Mouth hitched up to R. p. with deep
downward furrows from corners, giving humorous expres-
sion. Ears roughly indicated. Muscles of neck slightly
modelled. For hat, see Ast. iii. 4. 072. a–b (b without
tabs) and Ser. iv., Pl. CIV, Ch. 00260; LXXVI, Ch. 0030.
