"In most archaeological collections one comes upon objects the use of which can only be guessed at, and not a few of such are met with in Yotkan ceramics. Among this group must be counted the object seen in Pl. XII:s. It represents a male head with well-modelled features, heavy brows and moustaches, and a long and pointed, forked chin-beard. In the centre of the forehead is seen the above-mentioned depression, recalling the urna of the Buddhist images of gods. The nose is strongly prognathic, this being accentuated by straight lines drawn from the corners of the eyes to the point of the nose. The forehead is deeply wrinkled. Holes pierced in the ear-lobes for ear-ornaments are indicated.
The fragment in question, which is broken off both above and below, is hollow, but it is not possible to say whether any back portion existed. Stein has acquired several fragments of this type. (Stein 1907, vol II pl. XLIV (B.001 a. C. 004, Y. 0018). The example included in the Hedin collection is more complete than any other hitherto recovered, but even so it does not supply sufficient data for determining the mode of its employment, etc." Montell 1936, p. 185./Is</pres:description><pres:content xml:lang="sv">Arkeologiskt 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.
