a rectangular cavetto ¾" deep, its upper end 3½" above

mara type', J.H.S., xxvii, 1907).

F. II. iii. 1. Painted wooden panel with Buddha seated
in meditation on blue lotus. White robe with grey border,
white vesica with dark red border, blue nimbus with white
border. Very bad condition, subject on rev. worn off.
9¼" × 5".

F. II. iii. 2. Painted wooden panel with top cut to
point. Against oval blue vesica bordered with pink and
dark brown is standing Buddha or Bodhisattva fig.,
extremely well proportioned and slim-waisted. Pose easy
and graceful. Head very Indian and not well placed
on the neck, being thrust too far forward. Fig. has
uṣṇīṣa but no ūrṇā; hair blue and figured with tight
curls. R. hand is downwards by side, prob. holding
something, but surface damaged; L. hand with palm to
breast, fingers curled up. Fig. wears short plain loin-
cloth. The otherwise nude body and limbs have designs
painted on them in red outline. On middle is seated
Buddha fig., another on R. breast; on front of R. shoulder
a wheel-shaped flower, on each upper arm two billet-
shaped objects, perhaps Pōthis, and on each forearm
a pigeon or parrot. Feet and legs bare. From the leg
openings of loin-cloth seems to issue some gauzy, pleated
material, which is drawn tight at about mid-thigh. Very
little colour left, but flesh seems to have been pale pink.
Nimbus (?) circular, pink, with red and pink borders;
Padmāsana pink.
Much corroded. The board shows at upper end cuts
as if it had been used for leather-cutting.

Buddhas in attitude of meditation, and mark of vesica
