colours on white ground; subsequently this was covered
with canvas.

On front five figs. of Buddha, each seated on lotus
throne; the lower figs. have flame-bordered vesica behind
filling up ground space. The two upper figs. are placed
radially to edge, the three lower are perpendicular, one
below the other. Three arrangements of dress: (a) from
R. shoulder mantle is brought straight down to wrist,
hiding contours of body, while from L. shoulder it follows
closely body and arm curves, edge of inner robe diagonal
across chest from L. shoulder; (b) whole drapery close-
fitting, the folds regularly looped from both shoulders
across middle of chest; (c) from both shoulders mantle
hangs straight to wrists, which rest in its folds; inner robe
diagonal from L. shoulder across chest.

The whole richly gilded and in good preservation, except
that one end is charred behind. For fr. of similar arch,
see Mi. xxv. 001-002. 2′ 0⅜″ × 4⅜″ × 9⅛″. Pl. CXXVIII.

Mi. xv. 0030 (marked wrongly x. v. 001). Stucco fr. Top-
knot of head-dress as in type b, *Mi. xi. 00. Curl on L.
missing. H. 2¼″.

Mi. xv. 0031 (wrongly marked 0012). Wooden statuette
of Lokapāla. Both feet missing, and both arms below
the elbow, where they were bent; R. shoulder and R.
side of head charred away; nose worn flat. Fig. of
much character and dignity; good specimen of Chinese
work of T'ang period.

Body thick-set and rather stout, but held very erect;
shoulders thrown back, and legs planted firmly somewhat
apart. Face long and clean-shaven with prominent cheek-
bones, square jaw and long straight mouth giving a decided
expression. Head bare with long straight hair drawn up
under a fillet and wound in knot on top of head.

Dress that of Lokapālas in the Ch. paintings (see *Ch.
0010, General Note), but scales of coat of mail are not
represented. It is finished off by a jagged or kilted fringe
at mid-thigh, and beneath appears the inner robe, leaving
the knees free and flying in long draperies between and
behind legs. Robe also shows at the elbows in long loose
sleeves ending in a knot at level of mid-thigh. There is
no corslet or breastplate. Over shoulders a mantle,
knotted under chin and falling behind in wide flat folds to
the ankles. Traces of black paint remain here and there;
but the surface is generally much worn. H. 9½″; across
shoulders 3¼″. Pl. CXXVII.

and a small waving lock (generally on R.). Background

almost entirely lost in all cases. All of red clay, fired, and
later burnt accidentally.

prominent wide-opened eyes set far apart; brows drawn
down making wrinkles between eyebrows and across
nose; nostrils sharply cut, mouth small and full. In 008,
