legs, and encircling the upper curve of phallus bring their
feet together in front. The arms of the figure hang down,
the hands resting on the inner angles of the thighs.
Above them the umbilicus is strongly marked. (For treat-
ment of monkey comp. Y. 0012. d, Y. 0012. v, B. 002).
Height 1⅞″, width ¾″, depth ⅝″. See Plate XLVII.

Y. 009. q. i. Terra-cotta grotesque monkey seated
astride a phallus. Similar to Y. 009. q but less carefully
made. There is a single pair of legs only. The head of
phallus on which the hands rest reaches to face of monkey,
so that the sex of monkey is indistinguishable. Height ⅝″,
width 1⁵⁄₁₆″, depth ¾″. See Plate XLVII.

Y. 009. r. Terra-cotta grotesque. Two monkeys,
naturalistic type, embracing amorously. The head of one
is missing, and the lower portions of legs of both. One
has a long tail of hair hanging from the top of the head
to the root of the tail proper. The tail is very broad at
the root, spreading over the upper surface of buttocks.
The tail of the other figure is similar. Their legs are
entwined, and the arms of the one pass under the arms of
the other, the hands of each supporting the other behind
the shoulders. Hair is indicated only on head and tails.
They both seem to wear bangles on their wrists. Cleverly
modelled. Height 1⁷⁄₁₆″, width ⅝″, depth ⅝″. See Plate
XLVII.

Y. 0010. Terra-cotta human head of very low type.
The face is rather broad, with large eyes obliquely placed,
nose short, flat, and broad. Full and pointed beard. Bushy
eyebrows. Very low forehead and bull-necked. Mouth
coarse, ears high. The whole very clumsily executed.
Height 1¼″, width 1⅛″, depth 1″. See Plate XLVI.

Y. 0011. a. Terra-cotta grotesque head of crocodile.
Lower jaw missing. The end of the snout, which is
moderately broad, bears the protuberance such as the
Gavialis gangeticus has. The ears are shown as external
organs. The armour of the crocodile is expressed by
a series of transverse ribs. The eyes are too wide apart,
and on the sides instead of the top of head. A kind of
eyebrow is indicated by the usual dashes representing
hair; and a collar encircles the neck and runs behind
the ears. On the head between the eyes is a mark made
with a circular stamp. Length 1⁷⁄₁₆″, width ¾″. See
Plate XLVII.

Y. 0011. b. Terra-cotta grotesque monkey, hairless
and nude, seated upon a long object (a log?) with legs
dangling, playing the sitar. The L. proper arm is broken
off. The head is of owl-like type. Height 1⅝″, width 1⅜″.
See Plate XLVI.

Y. 0011. c. Terra-cotta grotesque monkey, hairless,
and with narrow band thrown over lap; seated on some-
thing, the legs dangling and seeming to be only to knees.
The two hands are raised, grasping a syrinx upon which
it plays. Face of owl-like type. A hole has been dug
between the legs. There is another on the back which
is probably due to some impurity in the clay. Height 1¼″,
width 1⅛″. See Plate XLVII.

Y. 0011. d. Terra-cotta grotesque monkey, having
hair indicated on the body and head. It is a fragment,
to the middle only; face naturalistic. The figure is play-
ing a kind of sitar with four strings. The left hand
shows fingers and thumb grasping the neck of the instru-
ment, while the fingers of the R. hand are roughly
suggested by the usual digs of the modelling tool. Height
2″, width 1⅝″, depth ⅝″. See Plate XLVI.

Y. 0011. e. Terra-cotta grotesque monkey; natural-
istic type. It grasps in both hands a very large syrinx,
very clearly shown. The six pipes are held together by
a single band round the centre. The monkey is squatting
but the legs are not formed, the body ending in a roughly
quatrefoil-shaped base enabling it to stand. Hair is
indicated all over the body. The mouth very cleverly
suggests the peculiar formation of the upper lip assumed
by a person blowing downwards into a pipe or flute.
Height 2⅝″, width 1¾″, depth ⅞″. See Plate XLVI.

Y. 0011. f. Terra-cotta grotesque monkey, fragment
to middle, in pose similar to Y. 0011. e, but from different
mould. The syrinx is smaller and shows two cinctures.
Six pipes are shown. The arms and hands are more
carefully modelled than in Y. 0011. e, as is also the head,
although it has not such a successful blowing expression.
This example has a very satyr-like appearance. Clay deep
red and fine texture, similar to Y. 0011. j. Height 1⅝″,
width 1⅜″, depth ¾″. See Plate XLVII.

Y. 0011. g. Terra-cotta grotesque monkey. Part
below hips broken away. Naturalistic type, but with
abruptly protruding mouth and snout. Ears very low,
narrow, and forward. Body hairy. The hands are
placed together, the finger-tips touching, in an attitude
of supplication or humility. Around the wrists are bands.
This specimen seems to be untouched after leaving the
mould. Height 1⅝″, width ⅞″. See Plate XLVII.

Y. 0011. h. Fragment of terra-cotta grotesque mon-
key. Head and part of neck. Type very similar to
Y. 0011. g, but mouth not so prominent, and eyes smaller.
Height 1⅝″, width ⅝″, depth 1⅛″. See Plate XLVI.

Y. 0011. i. Terra-cotta grotesque monkey. Owl-face
type. Appears to be squatting, but R. proper leg is
missing. Both hands are raised to mouth. Height 1¾″.
See Plate XLIV.

Y. 0011. j. Terra-cotta grotesque monkey, in sitting
posture, the legs dangling from the knees. In the lap
across middle is some object which may be clothing:
otherwise nude and hairless. Owl-face type. Hands
raised holding syrinx to lips. Skin markings from the
potter's fingers are visible on this. Clay dark red and of
fine texture. Height 1″.

Y. 0011. k. Terra-cotta grotesque monkey, natural-
istic, seated cross-legged, playing four-stringed rabāb. The
whole piece is well modelled, and shows interesting detail
in the rabāb. Height 1⅝″, width 1⅝″. See Plate XLVI.
