502 TOUR FROM SOURABAYA, THROUGH KEDIRl, &C. 
to have served originally for lintels of doors, though it is not, 
known thafoany remains of temples or buildings exist in Antang. 
Several small images are arranged round the grass plot in 
front of the Pasangrahan, but none are above 2 or 2§ feet 
in height, and all are said to have been found in the neighbour¬ 
ing forests. Three treasures, however, are preserved amongst 
such as I had never before happened to meet, viz three 
supposed figures of Brahma, with each four faces. A few 
analogous figures are sketched in Raffles' Java, found about 
the Residency of Kedu, but they are rarely met with. The 
three Brahmas at Antang are nearly of the same size and about 
2 feet in height, each squatting on a pedestal of lotus leaves. 
The most perfect and well executed of the three is placed at one 
corner of the pondopo of the Pasangrahan, and a description 
of which will answer for that cf the other two. Only one 
body is represented, surmounted by a single head, which 
however presents four faces—one looking as usual forward, 
another backwards, and one over each shoulder. The head 
is crowned with a tiara, representing an ornamented, truncat¬ 
ed eove, such as is usual with other Hindu images. The fi¬ 
gure, as above mentioned, is squatting on a pedestal of lotus, 
with legs folded up in front, but covered with a drapery 
which descends from the body, on the folded legs reposes a 
pair of folded hands, with the palms upwards, and then des¬ 
cends the bracelet tassel from the neck. Armlets are seen on the 
wrists and on the upper arm; there are also earrings between 
the faces. The back is smooth and even, with the exception 
of two accidental indentures. Against the left shoulder, a 
hand holds a chamara or fly whisk, whilst a corresponding 
hand, at the opposite shoulder, is inserted in a ring of beads. 
The arms to the body are thus four, two on each side. The 
noses have all been knocked from the faces which are other¬ 
wise perfect and represent the mild Hindu features.. The two 
other Brahmas have an upturned hand reposing on either 
knee and not folded together- 
Another rare image is sitting astride the neck and should¬ 
ers of an animal with large ears like those of an elephant, 
but the face is not that of this animal, though the snout has 
been knocked off; the hoofs are cloven. The figure has on the 
usual quantity of armlets and necklaces, and is crowned by a 
tiara. One pair of hands join in front and bold some indistin¬ 
guishable object to the breast; the second pair of hands hold 
.—on the left a bow , and on the right a jaggedarrow. 
There are two little Ganesas with elephant heads, also au 
upright figure as if in the act of walking with garments
