clay. The inner sides of the walls had been painted red. The floor had been covered
with the skulls of many oxen and pieces of hides. Digging in the centre of the struc-
ture, he had come across a coffin containing a female corpse.
Of this grave, which I have marked in the plan Fig. 9 afterÖrdek's indications
on the spot, and which was probably the most prominent grave at the place, only
some scattered planks of large dimensions are left. Some of them, and some frag-
mentary poles, show traces of having been painted with designs in red and black,
Fig. 11.
To judge from the surviving fragments, the decoration in black and red seems to
have been quite simple, consisting of straight lines. Fig. 11 E has a figure somewhat
recalling a candlestick with many arms. Does it represent a very stylized tree? The
occurrence on a Han dynasty tile of a similar representation is worth mentioning
(Janse 1936, Pl. III: 2).
