"244 TOUR FROM SOURABAYA, THROUGH KEBIRI, &C. 
which the most worthy of remark is the representation of a 
plough at work, of the kind which is still used for working 
sawahs, or the wet rice lands. 
A few detached statues have been set up on end in front of 
the main temple, these however have been more or less vio¬ 
lently mutilated. Four, each about four feet in height, are 
standing in a row, and are of the same general design; two 
of these have lost their heads entirely, whilst the two others 
have only had their faces broken away. The reformers of 
old appear to have evinced their zeal, by disfiguring the 
faces of the images and not unfrequently by knocking off the 
heads altogether. These four each hold a gada or club in one 
hand, descending along the limb to the pedestal; on the 
opposite side each has a small female figure reaching up only 
as high as the hip. In the case of the two statues where the 
head remains, the hair is combed back smooth, and then 
bound round by a fillet, below which it hangs in ringlets on 
the shoulders. Snakes are coiled round the bodies by way of 
girdles, but no other distinguishing marks exist, to point out 
whom they may be meant to represent. Their character 
appears to he that of warders or door-keepers, though of a 
different class from those gigantic ones which we above no¬ 
ticed as guarding the outer entrance. Near them is the 
roughly hewn figure of an unfinished image, which appears to 
be on a similar design and is of some size, probably so left, 
at the catastrophy which desecrated the sanctity of the 
temple, and dispersed its votaries : this, however, is import¬ 
ant as showing that occasional additions were made to the 
embellishments of the place. For the convenience of visitors 
a pondoppo or shed has been built amongst, the ruins, at each 
of the four corners of which is seen the statue of the watcher, 
or door keeper, the counterpart of the giants at the entrance, 
only in miniature. They are perfect and uninjured, and little 
more than a couple of feet in height From Horsfieldhs des¬ 
cription they, in his time, appear to have served as porters to 
the entrances of the platforms above described. Near this 
pondoppo and at the south west angle of the main temple, is 
another small and thatched shed just large enough to give 
-cover to a stone slab covered with inscriptions in ancient 
characters, but so time-worn that it would be no easy matter 
to decipher the words were even the latter known. Horsfield 
seems to have brought this to light, as it is in all probability 
the one of which he speaks as toliows—“ In cleaning up part 
of the rubbish that surrounded ti e southern sides of this 
edifice, (the main temple) I was fortuuate enough to discover 
a monument covered with an inscription of the usual size
