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  unhappy
  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.
