Nurses for small children in many cases are in no way distinguished from ordinary women; but there are scenes where they seem to be indicated by a curious headband in else style of a diadem with thick round pompons on it. This sort of nurse can be seen on O 44, IBa 145, IIB 10,21, 32, 76. There are many more nurses who do not wear this headdress, but the fact remains that this kind of costume is only found on nurses in charge of small children. It is impossible to make out why there are so many of them on the second balustrade; if this is not due to any fancy of the sculptor the coincidence should be noted. Sometimes, not always, a double band that looks like beads is worn with this headdress (IBa 145, II B 76); a thinner kind of necklace is worn on IBb 53 and 100, but the headdress is now indistinct. The same with IIB 24, where the women have a very chicle necklace with a sort of fringe to it; the children on this relief are too big to be nursed. I will here just mention the few instances of children's playthings; relief Ib 36 shews a miniature standard with a cushion-shaped top, very likely a rattle; IBa 120 probably a rattle of simpler shape, and IIB 32 looks like some sort of bell unless it is meant for a flower. I also suggested the possibility that the little kinnara's being made on Ib 51 might be intended as playthings for the small boy who appears in the scene. Children playing in the water seems to be the subject of Ib 95. School where lessons are being given first by a brahman, then a monk, we find on IIB 25 and 26; in that on relief 25 the scholars have books in their hands, but at the other school they are listening most respectfully to the master. In the school where (;-akyamuni receives his first lessons, or rather proves that he requires none, Ia 38, the scholars who seem to be older, also have books; further scenes of instruction-giving are the whole series that begins with O 79, then IIB 33 and 34; in this last scene the scholars are no children but grown-ups, some with beards. The same with the instruction in the Veda's given by the sons of the gods before the birth of Buddha, relief Ia 3.
