PLATE XLVIII. 



Form of the God of Death (see p. 295). 



Intermediary between the zoomorphic and anthropomorphic types. The atti- 

 tude is that of a triumphant victor, standing over the figure of a crouching demon.

 the following plates, he shares the two-horned bull-head with the purely animal forms 

 of Yama, illustrated previously. 



Clay figure from Shen-si. T'ang period (618-906). 



Height, 68 cm. Cat. No. 1 17993-
