Kishnagur has long been known for miniature 
modelling of this kind. The various Indian castes 
and occupations ; bazaars filled with figures; animals 
(chiefiy bulls, buffaloes, and elephants); and the 
ordinary vehicles of the ioeality are favourite subjects 
for representation. There is considerable delicacy in 
the modelling, the figures are instinct with charaoter, 
and their pose and action is generally excellent. It 
is to be regretted that the modellers have an un- 
happy predilection for introducing pieees of real 
fabrics in the clothing; and actual hair and wool in 
tlie figures themselves; and in the accessories, straw, 
grass, &c. This occasionally lowers their work to 
the level of ingenious toy making.
