Ast. vi. 3. 05. Painting on paper, in black outline and

Probably a single scene is represented. In the upper
part an important stout personage with scanty beard and
long moustache sits or kneels on a platform placed on
ground. His hair is down to the nape of his neck in a close
pad, his head covered by a mitre, without streamers.
Pose ¾ to R. p. In left hand a round fan with straight
handle. R. hand extended to take funnel-shaped cup from
kneeling attendant.
On ground to his R. is a painter's palette (?) divided into
squares containing colours. Two brushes (?) rest on the
palette. Behind him a cloak or rug hangs on a rail with
his bow-and-arrow cases, and on the ground a sugar-loaf
shaped object. An attendant at back ; his head appears,
with hair flattened down and bunched into a small knot
at each ear, a short thin wisp escaping downwards from
each and curving upwards. Attendant in front wears
hair arranged the same way, but only straggling wisps
from one knot. He (or she) wears a vest with straight neck ;
coat to thighs with V-opening to waist, which is girdled ;
loose trousers and black shoes. The cup is offered in left
hand with affected pose of fingers. In right hand is a ladle
hanging by the hooked handle to his little finger. Behind

him are two figures, man and woman, kneeling, in
voluminous coats and mitred heads. Hair of both is
tightly dressed as that of principal figure. Evidently
a visit. Above is looped drapery in red and green, probably
of a ' Shamiana '.
In the lower register are to R. two musicians kneeling,
one playing long whistle or flageolet, while the other beats
a small kettle-drum placed on short stool. Both wear
mitres, with curtain hanging at back. Hair as of principal
figure ; costume as of attendant above. A skirted figure
with arms extended and long sleeves hanging beyond
hands evidently dances, but the agitation is confined to
the pendent sleeves. Bodice close fitting and over hips,
with waist-band and braces. A touch of red on each cheek
suggests a female. Hair as of others with addition of large
butterfly knot on top, a long upcurving wisp on each side
from below, and a single angular thin wisp from one
side above.
In foreground at R. corner, a figure in loose garments
with one sleeve rolled up leans down, gathering grass or
making a fire. In centre foreground a three-tier table
supports a curious black object somewhat helmet-shaped
with three prongs at top, a tiny handle at one side and some-
thing hanging from the other ; on the whole resembling
inverted cauldron. Below table, a vase ; farther along is
a snare with coil of string attached.
To L. of dancer a table with three legs at each end, the
three having a continuous three-arched foot (as in the
Ku K'ai-chih roll), and cauldron with ladle, as in Ast. ii.
1. 01, 07, Pl. CIV, CVII. Below a squat bottle-shaped
vase in a stand which has a hoop-handle arching right
across.
A bullock-cart arrives from L., with a large awning over
it supported by three hoops ; no driver. An orchard lies
between upper and lower registers, confined within a rect-
angle to L. of the picture. One or two other objects, among
them a butter churn, probably of culinary use, lie to
extreme L. of foreground. Paper is in two sheets joined
across centre.
Note. In the above picture we have a rendering of a
scene frequently depicted in the Han sculptures as repro-
duced in Chavannes' Mission archéol., e.g. on third stone
of Tsiao Tch'eng ts'ouen group, Pl. LXXVIII. In this
and others of the same type are found dancers, musicians,
cooks, and the butter churn. The whole scene suggests
an elaborate picnic, perhaps connected with burial rites.

Ast. vi. 3. 07. Fr. of silk garment, made of blue silk

coloured red and brown alternately in its length, with
alternating lines of buff and white. Within a very stylized
