OCR Text
Two silk ribbons were also found,
one of which probably with the
same lion pattern as Pl. 16: 1
though now indistinct, the other
with a red and white chess-board
pattern, Pl. 18: 2, both woven in
warp-rib.
A trifling piece of patterned
polychrome silk, No. 6. B: 7, has
an interwoven Chinese character.
The fragmentary embossed
bronze plate Pl. 15: 1 was, certain-
ly, originally affixed to some soft
material, probably the garment.
A bone handle with a remaining part of an iron knife, Pl. 16: 3, and a wooden
arrow-shaft, Pl. 18: 11, were also found inside the coffin, the latter indicating the
male sex of the corpse. From the size of the coat one infers that he was rather
heavily built. The arrow-shaft has a marked notch for the bow-string, and in the
front end the tang of an iron arrow-point is still sticking.
A small bundle of dark brown hair might be an offering, as in many other Lop-
nor graves (cf. Grave 36, etc.).
Grave 6 C.
10 m. SSW of coffin 6 A there was a third coffin, situated in S 70° W—N 70°E,
a half hollowed-out trunk that was split and worn by weather. It measured 2.15
m. in length. As in the other two coffins the head was lying in the eastern end, and
the coffin was lined with felt. Only parts of the skeleton and of the garment re-
mained. The latter in certain features reminds one of the dress in Grave 6 A, for
instance a lower edge of a skirt (?) with nearly the same arrangement of differ-
ent-coloured stripes as the big skirt Fig. 24, and in addition, vertical pleats after
the same model as that represented on a most beautiful tomb statuette of immedi-
ate post-Han date in the Eumorfopoulos collection (Sirén 1930, Pl. 111). It had
some small traces of beaten gold on it, which had apparently been glued on to the
silk. The painted spots on the garment of the clay statuette referred to above are
possibly meant to represent such applied ornaments of metal.
A sleeve, 6. C: 4, is 40—45 cm. wide.
Besides the textile fragments no funeral deposit was discovered.
