TOUR FROM SOURABAYA, THROUGH KF.DIRI, &C. 541 
heads, which are also frequently introduced on the dress and tiara 
which crowns the head. The body bears the human form, is 
pot-bellied and surmounted by an elephant’s head and snout, is the 
Hindu god of wisdom, the offspring of Siwa and Doorga. There 
is also the squatting figure of a woman, but of which the head is 
wanting, though still 3| feet high. The breasts are full and 
prominent, the hands are folded in front, and bracelets and other 
ornaments are observed. The statuary is well executed but no 
distinguishing insignia mark whom it was wished to represent. 
A large and a smaller car of the sun stand here, each drawn by 
seven horses abreast, of which the snouts are broken off; the tail 
of either outer horse streams out behind, over the circumference of 
the wheel of the chariot. A single person drives the team and the 
body of the car seems formerly to have served as a pedestal. 
The magnificent statue of Brahma with four heads, which 
Horsfield saw here in 1815 is no longer to be found ; it as well as 
the Malia Hewa, on the stone of which were several Devanagari 
characters, cut in relief; has been taken away by some ruthless 
plunderer, who has thus rendered the already difficult task of 
unravelling the antiquities and history of Java so much the more 
perplexing, by withdrawing such important remains of art from 
their original positions, and from the contemplation of which so 
many inferences might probably be deduced. 
Proceeding through the coffee bushes, a little to the southward 
of the last mentioned group of images, we found that the natives 
had been lately grubbing up the foundations of a small building, 
apparently for this sake of the squared stones of which it was 
composed, and which were thrown up out of the excavation. 
Close to it was the crumbling heap of another building hardly 
distinguishable for bushes and tangled weeds. An aperture, how¬ 
ever, on one side exposed a hidden under ground recess, under the 
body of the ruins, similar to the one seen at the stone temple first 
mentioned. Going on a little further in the same direction, a most 
extraordinary edifice is met with. This is an oblong smooth sided, 
quadrangular, solid building, composed of hewn trachyte, 31 paces 
long by 12 broad, having the direction, by compass, of north west 
and south east, and about 20 feet high. It can only be ascended 
at the centre of the south western face, where the wall has either 
partially tumbled down or may have originally had some steps. 
It is remarkable that one half end of the building from this gang¬ 
way towards the north is partially embellished with cornices and 
other architectural ornaments, whereas the other half towards the 
south presents nothing more than a simple plain wall. The north 
end is a little higher than the south and contains a fosse or square 
hole, in which is lying a large female image with the head broken 
off but still here. On the same slab of stone on the right and 
left and standing as high as her hip, is another small female 
image, each standing with folded hands. All three are included
