XXXV, L. C. 03). The colours are well preserved and give an impression of re-
fined beauty.
Outside the head end of the coffin the following articles were placed: the nicely
turned wooden drinking cup, painted in red and black Pl. 27:6, a wooden food-
tray on four low legs, the skeleton of a sheep, and some Ephedra twigs.
The small cup is of the same type as Stein's Ying. III. 3.07 from Ying-p'an
(Stein 1928, Pl. CX), though more elegant. There are other features, too, recalling
another of the Ying-p'an graves (Ying. III. 4) for instance the head-gear.
The food-tray is to be compared with those found in Mass-grave 1. It is made of
two boards. On the bottom there is a carved mark, and both sides show traces of
having been used as cutting boards.
Both the type of coffin and the rich silk garments of the deceased lady place this
grave in the same class as Grave 6 A. Whether these two ladies belonged to the
same race or not is, however, another question, but they had no doubt the same
social standing.
As to the age of this grave we are hardly able to date it more precisely than
within the known limits of the period of Chinese settlements in this region. Most
likely this lady lived during one of the three first centuries of our era.
