Plate xlvii. 

 Clay Figures from Shen-si and Ho-nan (see p. 295). 



Fig. 1. Intermediary form of the God of Death. His head is modelled in the 

 style of the bull-faced Yama, as shown on Plates XLIV and XLV, but he is equipped 

 with armor in the same manner as the human forms. He stands over the figure of a 

 demon, and seems to have grasped a weapon in his right hand, which is perforated.

 head-dress, — a type evolved from Yama as triumphant warrior. Here inserted for
