well-formed phallus, which is perforated, and bears a small inscription 
( ya-vu-du-pa-jd-a ) in Brahml characters of about the 5th century A.D., 
but in an unknown language. No. 7 which, at first sight, suggests a 
seal-ring, belongs really (as shown by a specimen in Dr. Stein’s collec¬ 
tion, Preliminary Report, PI. I A) to a small, narrow-necked vase, of 
which it forms the handle, being fixed to its shoulder, with tbe head of 
the animal (cp. Plate X, No. 31) pointing downwards. Some three- 
handled vases, shown in Professor Furtwangler’s Mykenisclne Vasen , 
Plates I, 1; V, 28 A, 28 B, are provided with exactly similar handles. 
No. 8 shows top and bottom of a decorated pedestal of the kind of 
“ knickknack ” already referred to in connection with Plate XI, No. 16. 
No. 9 is a small object in tbe form of two small peacocks (2| x If"), 
placed back to back, front and back of the piece being exactly alike ; the 
feet, if there were any, are broken off. What use the object may have 
subserved is not clear : perhaps it was also a “ knickknack.” 
Nos. 4 and 11 show two very crude figures, animal and human, 
made of sun-dried mud. I believe myself that they are modern fabrica¬ 
tions. They bear, on the forehead of No. 4 and the top of the head of 
No. 11 the impression of a small oval stamp (like an Egyptian cartouche) 
inscribed with four “ unknown ” characters. One of these characters 
is quite clear, and is identical with No. 33 of fig. 1 in Table I (Formula 
of Blockprints No. IY). Another is apparently the same as No. 3, 
ibidem. The other two are not distinguishable. As a model for No. 11 
may have served some figure like No. 12. 
This figure, No. 12 as well as the objects shown in Nos. 13-15, 17- 
20, 23-26 are apparently made of brass, or very light colored bronze. 
They are thickly covered with verdigris. Though there is no particular 
reason to doubt their genuineness, their age and provenance is quite 
uncertain. This remark also applies to the remaining objects shown in 
Plate XIII. The two horsemen, shown in Nos. 14 and 15 are those 
referred to in the Introduction, p. xxi. The saddle-pad on which the 
riders sit is real cloth, in a very rotten state. No. 17, a plain horse, 
is hollow, as may be seen from the fracture in front. No. 18 appears to 
represent a Garuda , holding a snake in its beak. The body of the snake 
(on the left in the Plate) winds in a double circle, arranged so as to 
form a socket for holding another object; and the feet of the bird are 
set on a small, semicircularly bent plate with which it could be fixed to 
something else. No. 19, resembling the terracotta masks, is much 
corroded, and the most antique looking of the lot. No. 20 shows the 
arrowhead, referred to on page 67 of Part I of this Report. 
Nos. 21, 22, 27, 29 and 30 are made of different kinds of minerals. 
No. 21 appears to be a mould cut into a soft grey stone (soap-stone ?),
