153. An Almond-shaped symbol suerodnded by podeteen dots. 
Fig. 199. 
This is merely a highly ornamented variant of No. 76, and essenti- 
ally the ‘ vesica-piscis’ of mediseval and Romish decoration. Romish me- 
dalets for the use of nuns and young persons assume this form even now. 
164 A symbol op unknown import. Fig. 209. 
This looks like a child’s wooden horse, but its real meaning from 
this single specimen can hardly bo guessed at. 
155. ¥ovu ‘ Taurines’ round A Cross, in a square area. Fig. 184 
The Cross here is the old T with a orescent above, and it is either 
mounted on a pedestal, or surrounded by a railing. 
156. A ‘ Trishelis ’ with a ‘ Taurine ’ resting on a Cross. Fig. 167. 
This is a remarkable symbol. It consists of a ‘ Trishelis ’ (as in fig. 
131) within a triangular area, and on the left of it a cross supporting a 
‘ Taurine ’ turned over to the right, forming a crux ansata with ears, as 
it were. 
157. A WHEEL OF POUR SPOKES, SURROUNDED BY SIX ‘ OWL HEADS. Fig. 104. 
This of course is a solar symbol. 
158. A CIRCLE AND CROSS-LINES. Fig. 11 7. 
The design is rather obscure. 
159. A Trishelis kT-io ‘ caduceus' united. Fig. 133. 
This very remarkable symbol is I believe a compound one, and not 
formed fortuitously by the union of two. It consists of a ‘ Trishelis ’ re- 
volving to the right within a circular area, and joined above to a symbol 
No. 17, which I regard as a mere variant of the ‘ Oaduoeus ’ or staff of 
Hermes or JEsculapius. 
160. Symbol No. 34 only the man holds a club. 
161. A Dog. 
On one coin in the possession of Gren. Sir A. Cunningham appears 
the figure of a dog with no apparent connection with a stupa, and it may 
therefore be occasionally so represented, but its usual position is that of 
fig. 49.
