still in its place next the wall; the figure, however, must have 
been turned round before it fell, as to fall as it now lies it must 
have stood with its face to the wall; this may have occurred in 
some former attempt to get it removed, and being then accidentally 
injured was considered unworthy of further trouble. Horsefield 
in 1815 remarks of it—“ in one of these niches we observed an 
image lying flat on the ground, with its head off.” 
Above the top of these vestibules, the building rises in a square 
upper story, with a niche crowned with a gorgon’s head placed in 
each face above the vestibule below ; no figures now occupy these 
niches. Right and left of the vestibule which leads into the central 
chamber are large recesses, as high as the doorway, fitted with 
pedestals for images. On the eastern side only a small image 
remains, but evidently not the one originally meant for it, being 
too diminutive, not exceeding 3 feet in height. It is however a 
very good and distinguishable image of Doorga standing on the 
buffalo’s back, in her right hands successively holding that animal’s 
tail, an arrow, then some instrument which is broken away, and 
lastly and uppermost a trisula. The four left hands hold in turn, 
the hair of the imp crouched on the buffalo’s head, then an open 
hand simply, next a bow, and lastly above, a winged chank shell. 
In front of the temple are arranged a number of small images, ma¬ 
ny of which are a good deal weather-worn; amongst these are some 
small gate-keepers with clubs, a few Braminy bulls, Ganesas, two 
chariots of the sun each drawn by seven horses abreast and driven 
by one man seated on the square box-like car, the rude figure of 
a bull sitting on his rump and holding folded human hands in front 
of his belly, a small couchant elephant, as also another Doorga, 
four feet high, holding a club on the head of the buffalo where the 
imp is usually seen. 
Proceeding inwards a little further, along the road by which we 
had just before entered, a collection of several other antiquities is 
found. The first met with, is a splendid plump Braminy bull, 
couchant and larger than life. The execution of this figure is 
admirable, and he is still perfect with the exception of both horns 
and part of the left ear. He has a bell hanging on his dewlap, 
suspended from his neck by a collar ornamented with large thick 
beads. It has on its back an embroidered pad fastened on by a 
band round the belly and others under the tail. On the centre 
of this pad, and immediately behind the hump, is carved a full 
blown lotus flower. This bull is figured in Raffles’s Java amongst 
the subjects of Singo Sari. 
The next objects which attract attention are two collossal and 
gigantic Janitors or watchmen crouching on their hams and yet 
reaching to a height of fully 12 feet, with nearly as much breadth 
from elbow to elbow, each cut out of a single block of trachyte 
rock. These are the most stupendous statues in Java, being larger 
than figures of a similar nature at Chandi Sewa or than ady of
