rest of fig. L. border and R. side of disc missing. Wood
very rotten. Diam. 1⅞″. Present width 1″, thickness 3⁄16″.

Ta. i, 009. Fresco fr., much broken, outlined in black
and dull red on light buff ground, from wall surface seen
in Fig. 325. Only colours occasional grey and buff,
very pale. On L. is standing fig. of warrior, ⅔ R.; R.
shoulder and side of head missing, legs broken off across
calves. Wears full armour: close-fitting cuirass with
corslet over breast, and short mailed skirt to knees, repre-
sented in horizontal bands of light grey and buff, and belt
of circular discs. Below are breeches tucked into high
boots. Sleeves long and close-fitting to wrist. L. hand at
breast holds tazza with dome-shape contents (or cover),
thin stem and flat base; R. on hip seems to hold purse or
dagger. On head tiara of some kind surmounting close-
fitting head-dress, and circular halo behind. Features are

grotesque: wide mouth and jaw, with displayed tusk, chin
cleft, upper lip drawn into mouth in wrinkles, or perhaps
intended to be cleft. Lower line of upper eyelid sweeps
down by nose and out round cheek in wide curve, and
upper line of eyelid makes similar smaller curve to corner
of mouth, with grotesque effect.
On R. edge, facing him, appears head, neck, and fore-
leg of deer outlined in dark red. Below, between them,
appears upper part of small fig. holding three buds in
R. hand; prob. the donor, and kneeling. Childish
features; head semi-shaved, with hair in triangular fringe
over forehead, and in circular patch over ear with tail
falling behind; cf. small kneeling fig. in Mi. xii. 12.

lines of inscription in Central-Asian Brāhmī.
