umbrella, put up in a cloth bag is held behind a great man r 
whom a figure is supplicating with folded hands. On a bali- 
bali is seated an aged sage entreated by three figures with 
hands folded or crossed on the breast. These three have the 
hair done up in a style differing from any others on thebuilding; 
it is in fillets or bands crossing each other at right angles, and 
looks somewhat like turbans ; their dress is otherwise a'kind of 
sarong with the breast bare. Again horses are being led to be 
yoked to an empty chariot, the time of day being indicated by 
the sun rising from behind a clump of trees, and a little fur¬ 
ther on are the prince and his consort en route on the vehicle. 
Proceeding along, figures are seen with sharp features like 
Hindus, the hair combed back and tied in a knot behind, the 
noses are sharp and prominent with mustachios on the upper 
lip; the body above the waist is bare. Here the holy man with 
his bald headed attendant again occurs addressing the queen. 
Some sort of an execution is taking place on the north side of 
the building A personage, on horse back, with attendants, is 
supplicated by a kneeling figure with two women standing be¬ 
hind, next comes a man with a spear conducting two other 
women in apparent distress, followed by a man with a wadung 
or broad chopper stuck in a case which he holds in his left 
hand, and beyond this is a figure in the act of stabbing the 
bearer of the siri box, with either a kris or a spear head. Re¬ 
turning to the west face, next the steps, is a venerable sage, 
represented as before with flowing broad, reviliug a monster- 
man with fang teeth, burning, and perishing with anguish in 
flames of fire which are raging around him, and into which he 
appears to have been cast. Beyond there are monsters assaul¬ 
ting a hoary bearded figure apparent asleep on a couch. The 
elephant occurs in two places, in one without a load and next 
a horse that is ridden, elsewhere bearing itself a person on its 
back. We have now completed the circuit of the first story, 
the sculpture on which evidently represents a series of his¬ 
torical occurrences, but to what particular events they relate 
it appears quite impossible to say. They may perhaps be¬ 
long to the times in which the temple was built, and of which 
no record has been otherwise preserved. They are certainly 
not mythological, but represent simple human actions, with¬ 
out distortion or the interference of the Hindu deities with 
any of their distinguishing attributes. 
The walls of the upper story No 2 are ornamented in a 
way entirely different from those below. We no longer meet 
with the minutely traced figures of birds, animals or men, but 
holder and larger figures form a more appropriate support to
