PLATE LXVir.
A MONGOLE SCHAMAN.
i'liERE has been given, in several of the former descriptions, a short
sketch of the peculiar doctrines of Schamanisin, and of the characters
of its followers. The female Schamans, or Mongolian magicians, in
their dresses, manners, and ceremonies very much resemble those .of
the other nations, and more particularly those of the Bratzkiye, which
have been before noticed. Whatever, therefore, was then mentioned
equally applies to the present Plate.
