Other artistic examples of the same portrait class are in the Musée Guimet, among which may be specially noted the bronze images of Padmasambhava and Tsong-kapa, the founder of 'Yellow Lamaism' (*Petit Guide Illustré*, pp. 143, 144).¹ A reproduction of a statuette of Tsong-kapa from an original in the Pitt-Rivers Museum, Oxford, is here given (Fig. 145). Portraits of this kind do not come from Nepāl, so far as I know.
