Extract

Clay impressions bearing the well-known Buddhist formula, Ye dharmā hetuprabhavā, etc., are well known and have often been published. The specimens to be described in the present article seem to be partly non-religious—simply the signets of individuals—and partly Hindu (Vaiṣṇava or Śaiva). The last-named class, represented here chiefly by a number of specimens belonging to Mr. L. White King, seems hitherto to have attracted little or no notice.
