PLATE XVIII

Fig. i. Model of a lion seated and scratching his head with left
hind paw. Hard buff white ware with creamy white glaze

tinted in parts with green and yellow. Low base with pierced

sides. The contented expression of the beast enjoying a good

scratch is admirable.

Probably T'ang dynasty but possibly later. H. 8-6".
In the possession of Mr. C. Rutherston.

Fig. 2. Model of a duck. Soft white ware with creamy glaze
splashed in parts with yellow and green. The feathers are
indicated by engraved lines. Though somewhat impressionist
in the modelling, the duck is very life-like in its pose.
T'ang dynasty. H. 7- 75".
In the possession of Mr. C. Rutherston.
