198 TOUR FROM SOURABAYA, THROUGH KEDIRI, &C. 
incense burning in front of the statue. The execution of 
the sculpture is very fair but decidedly inferior to that Pram- 
banan or Boro Badur. There is no indication of any temple 
having ever stood here, but it is not impossible that it had 
been of brick, or may have tumbled down and the materials 
been appropriated by the people of Kediri, hard by. 
In the garden of the Residency is a collection of images 
brought together from various quarters, but being no longer 
in their original locality, they of course lose a great deal of 
circumstantial interest. The images are mostly small, few 
being three feet high, and mostly only about two. Amongst 
these I observed only one representation of Budha with the 
curly hair on his head, the only specimen of the kind I 
have met with to the eastward of Solo. It is a small squat¬ 
ting figure about two feet high. There is a pretty good 
Nandi or Sacred Bull, and the representation of the neck 
and head of aNaga or Serpent, the only one I ever met with. 
The Dalam of the Regent is situated at the extreme 
southern end of the town, a good paul from the bridge over 
the river, from which however, it is not far removed, as the 
town extends along the bank. This dalam, as is the case 
with most of those at this end of the island, is approached 
from the east side of the Alun Alun, whereas the Sunda 
chiefs invariably have their dwellings on the south side of 
the plain, as is also the case with the Palace at Solo and 
Jugjo. It was the early part of the day when we paid our 
respects to tie regent of Kediri. We found him busy laying 
out a garden, which he was doing with the assistance of a 
gang of villagers, and a copious stream of water, so that we 
had some difficulty in getting at him seated under the shade 
of a tree. He was {C en neglige” and attired in a sort of 
European sporting coat, Havii g formerly served as an offi¬ 
cer in the Dutch cavalry, his old trusty sword is carried 
about after him by an attendant. Radin Mas Adhipati 
Ar o Joyodi Ning Rat is a middle aged man, and received us 
very friendly. A son and a daughter, evidently a great 
favorite with her father, were doing duty as pages, and had 
charge of the beetle and tobacco box ; segars were present¬ 
ed and he sat in familiar chat for half an hour; the conver¬ 
sation on my part being directed towards the antiquities 
and legends of the country, whilst the great man, ever hud 
anon, kept breaking off to the subjects of dogs, and horses, 
a large spirited specimen of the latter being brought from 
his stable to gratify our curiosity, and at the same time re¬ 
dound to the consequence of his master. From his eapaci-
