À little nearer to tóe north of the tortoises, in 'front of the principal
■ building, stands a .large erect statue,* apparently in its original .position ;
•at tóe back of which, on a scroll hanging from the waistband, is an-itiscrip-
tion of several dines j a figure heading a double-headed -trident in eaoh bated
and having three spikes on each elbow, rudely executed,' anid elsewhere a
phallus, upwards of six feet long and not less than five in «irfcumference.
M had been broken in halves, but the two parts were easily brofight-to-
•gether : round the upper part are four large balls of equal dimensions.:
along the urethra is an inscription in two lines, the: létters being one above
the other, and on the upper part of one of these linesris the-representation
o f 'a kris blade, and two «quaros evossing each other just above the; point,
-with a circle and other ornaments .in thé centre, so .as to represent the sun •
to tóe -right of this is a représentation of the moon in the first quarter ;
and further again to the right a small cirole,; representing a star: the whole
in relief, very correctly executed, and in good preservation, .
On one of the temples adjacent there are representations of a -similar
symbol cut in relief.
We observed: several monstrous figures with clubs,of different sizes. One
in particular fronting the principal building, grinning toost , horribly, and
two near the steps leading to the »pperjterracé from tlxe south side. ;
Below the upper terrace, anthesoafersidef we noticed the foundation of
building of an oblong shape, with three large ' slabs, on which were
sculptured several -objects-which appeared much to interest thé Jàiegn«.. .Qn
Che we observed a manufacturer of blades in-the. act .of striking fee
steel. Above him are placed, as in his workshop, among several-blades mf
different forms, a trident, a water-pot, a pair of shears, and something not
•very unlike Mercury’s wand. On another stone is; seen a man with the
proboscis of an elephant, and in his hand a dog : on fee third; is .a map
blowing a Javan bellows.
The natives informed us, that the ■ country people ;were in îthe habit of
making- offerings to these sculptures, which they highly, esteemed, from a
tradition that they represented the original Javan tukang bést, or workman in
iron and steel.
The workmanship is ruder than tbatin-thetemples at Brambdnan, Boro
Bodo, or Mdlang, .and the worship must bave been different.
