Clay Figure

These small clay figures are the kind of object that was overlooked when collecting and looting took place, as inevitably it was the gold and glitter of the metal and carved items that caught the eye of the soldiers. However, their fragility and subsequent rarity make them particularly interesting. Each is sealed, probably containing a relic of the teacher or Lama they represent. In Lt Hadow's list of items that he brought back from Tibet they are simply shown as 'image of Lama'.
