The ivories in the Colombo Museum, Ceylon, include contemporary portrait figures of the last king of Kandy (1798–1815), with the chief priest, and two ministers, or Adikārs. Mr. Joseph has shown me photographs of statuettes of kings and queens in the Kandy Museum, which are very quaint and neatly executed, but of little account as works of art.²
