by the hand of one of the pious who last visited the Vihāra. In the same way a small broken
Buddha figure, a replica of the reliefs filling the large aureoles of R. xii and R. xiii, was found
placed against the right arm. Sculptured pieces which had fallen off from the haloes of some
other images had thus served for pious adornment, an observation made elsewhere in the ruined
Vihāra, and clearly showing that the decay of its relief decorations in friable clay must have
begun long before the shrine was completely abandoned. More important was the finding Votive coin
of three Chinese coins on the floor just below the base of R. xi. They were all *wu-chu* pieces; deposits.
and their position, when viewed in the light of subsequent discoveries of the same kind, leaves
no doubt that they had been deposited as votive offerings.
The adjoining south corner of the Vihāra court was occupied by two colossal statues Reliefs of
(R. xii and R. xiii), surrounded by very large ornamental vesicas and both exactly alike. The large
statues themselves had suffered much damage, and the portions from the waist downwards vesicas,
which the excavation brought to light collapsed to about the knees, as seen in Figs. 63, 64. R. xii, xiii.
The carefully treated folds of the robes showed remains of a dark-red paint. The elliptical
vesicas, measuring fully 7½ ft. across at their widest and enclosed by a relief border showing
a lozenge diaper ¹⁰, were decorated with slanting rows, overlapping each other, of small Buddha
figures. These were alike in pose, scale, and execution, but, as seen in the photographs,
shown to different lengths, according to the exigencies of space. Those displayed down to
the thighs measured about 14 in., the rest being shorter. The arrangement of individual
figures in the rows on either side of the vesica does not seem to have been everywhere quite
symmetrical. The figures actually found adhering to the wall were all exact replicas and
evidently from the same mould. The same was the case with most of the small reliefs of
this kind, of which many were found in the sand filling the corner, and which manifestly had
broken off previously from the higher vesica segments ¹¹.
The specimen (R. xii. 1) reproduced in Plate LXXXVI, shows the figure of a Buddha Small
standing with the right hand raised in the 'Abhayapāṇimudrā' attitude, as seen from other Buddhas
specimens, and the left on the chest, grasping loose drapery. A round nimbus appears behind of vesicas.
the head, the latter showing the hair in simple curls with a top-knob. Traces of whitewash
over a red wash appear on all these figures. Besides the latter, there turned up among the
débris of the south corner some small stucco heads evidently also representing Buddhas, but
differing in expression and modelling from R. xii. 1 and its replicas. Two types could be
distinguished, and one of these was represented also among the small detached reliefs which
I found placed near R. lxx ¹². It is difficult now to decide whether the stucco figures to
which these heads belonged had formed part of no longer extant portions of the vesicas, or
had only been placed there after removal from some other group of sculptures. The corner
would have formed a likely place for collecting such *disjecta membra* of sacred images from
other parts of the Vihāra, and it is, perhaps, significant that a number of such detached pieces
were found near the statues of the outside south corner (R. lxx–lxxiv).
The sculptural decoration of the inner south-east wall-face, to the south of the gate, Colossal
showed great uniformity. It consisted mainly of a series of colossal statues (R. xiv, xv, xvi, statues
xvii, xviii, xix, xx, xxi, xxii, xxiii, xxv, xxvi), which appear to have been of identical type, if not of inner
exact replicas. They had all suffered much decay, evidently owing to the inadequacy of the south-east
face.
