Pl XI:3. "A group that stands apart from the rest is formed by the heads illustrated in Figs. 22 a.-d. They are without unnecessary ornamentation of any kind, but are conspicuous for firmness of form. With one exception their eyes are represented by deep slits. The mouth is more naturalistically rendered without the aid of impressed dots of primitive effect. One of the heads (Fig 22 d. and Pl XI:3) has a strange-looking crescent-shaped ornament placed right across the top of the head. It does not appear to me too rash to set these figures down as representatives of a specific variation of style that must either be referred to a different period, or else be regarded as originating from some other place of amnufacture. Even the character of the material is different. They are all much worn, which may perhaps be ascribed to the materials less durable." Montell 1936, p 183 ff./IsArkeologiskt föremål förvärvat i Borazan. Föremålen inköpta av Hedin från lokalbefolkningen. I brev hem av den 10 januari 1896 skriver Hedin: "Yesterday I visited the village of Borazan, where those remarkable Buddhist antiquities are found, but I made practically no discoveries. On the other hand the natives come along daily with their terracotta figures, pots, precious stones with engraved portraits, coins, Buddha images etc. ... and I have acquired a lot of these things cheaply enough. There is an old Tartar, of Orenburg, living here, by the name of Rafikoff, and he speaks Russian fluently. He has paid me several visits, and when I called upon him he presented me with a number of these antiquities." - cit Montell 1936 nr 7., (Datering 100-800 baserad på att en stor del av fynd från Khotan har daterats till denna tid, behöver inte vara korrekt för just detta föremål)., Montell 1936, Pl XI:3, fig 22 d.
