TO EXAMINE THE RUINSj &C. . 5 



the stones ihiit blocked up the passage and ob- 

 scurcd the light ; here I found a stone overtuni- 

 ed and firmlv sunk in the earth^ on which was 

 5culptured the statue of an aged Chief or King, 

 remarkable for the Majesty and gravity of its 

 aspect — rits fiowing beard, its raised aquilinenose, 

 and Roman coiintenance, far different from the 

 Mahiv, Javanese, or Hindoo oiitline ; it holds a 

 rosary in the right hand, and its left hand 

 seems to have been fixed on somethinir^ resem- 

 bling tlie handie of a sword ; hut the fingers 

 being damaged, this is doubtful. — The legs are 

 wanting, and seem broken off from the oriscinal 

 relievo — near its right side is a staff with a Tri-

 the eastside, or to ascend hi2:her, bnt it is proba-

 may have been on that side.— *The whole of this 

 Pile, Pyramid^ or Mass of Stone niay be perhaps 

 aboutöOfeethigh, andto thedoors which I enter-» 

 ed about 25 feet. — -Some ornaments were visible on 



* This Trident headed Stafif I have since found on several Sculptures 

 jn Java, and seems designed as a Sceptre usually desigaating Royalty 

 and Commerce.
