In the forehead a chip of turquoise. Montell 1938, Pl. II, 7. "It is really not worth while subdividing this limited and fragmentary materia according to style. One special group might possibly be made to consist of some bronzes characterized by a more thorough finish and a softer and more mobile shape than the others. Pl. II, 7 shows a seated figure, the right leg drawn up under the body, the left resisting on the ground. The right hand holds a lotus stalk the leaves of which support an image of Buddha whereas the left hand is hanging down holding an object that may be conceived as a vessel for holy water. The figure wears a crown on its head and on the forehead there is an urna consisting of an inset chip of a turquoise. At the back there are two tenons with the aid of which the relief was attached to a bedding. It is not easy to say what divinity the figure is to represent, the attributes being so indistinct. If the object in the left hand really is to represent a vessel for holy water, this is probably an image of Bodhisatva Maitreya. The close relationship to the Gandhara art is apparent. (Foucher 1905/22, figs. 418-422)." Montell 1938, p. 85/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 1938, Pl II, 7, text p. 85., Montell, Gösta (1938) Sven Hedin’s archaeological collections from Khotan.
