A Food receptacle for birds (?) with Taurines below 
and loop to right. This is the symbol termed by 
Mr. V. A. Smith, a “cross” in his description of 
the objects found in the Piprahwa Stupa. Jour. 
Roy. As. Society 1898, p. 586, fig. 10. I interpret 
the symbol as a Buddhist monk’s begging bowl, 
the two ‘ears’ on the right being the ends of the 
band helping to support the bowl, which is ele¬ 
vated on a T. shaped cross piece, to raise it above 
the reach of Dogs or Cats. Food altars on this 
principle are common in Burma, and this I take 
to be the archaic form of the structure. Thomas 
figures it in N.O., and calls it a “Magic formula” 
(Fig. 16, p. 61), which conveys nothing, and is 
besides not even a plausible explanation. (54).
