The second photograph, (Pl. CXLV), is that of a sculpture to be found in Sopāra in the Ṭhāṇa district of the same Presidency. It is a standing figure of Brahmā. As in other pieces of sculpture, this one also has a pointed beard for the middle face only. On the head are *jaṭāmakuṭas* and a *yajñōpavīta* graces his body; there are also the *kaṭisūtra* and other ornaments. In the right front hand of the image is held apparently a lotus; in the back right hand, is the *sruk*, in the back left hand a *kūrcha* and in the front left hand Brahmā: Bronze: Karachi Museum, Sind.
