"Terra-cotta bifrons vessel." "In the Hedin collections from Yotkan are preserved two examples of the peculiar clay vessel type known as bifrons vessels. As the name indicated, the body of such a vessel is decorated with a human face on either sidde, so that in every case one face is male and the other female.

"Terra-cotta bifrons vessel." "In the Hedin collections from Yotkan are preserved two examples of the peculiar clay vessel type known as bifrons vessels. As the name indicated, the body of such a vessel is decorated with a human face on either sidde, so that in every case one face is male and the other female. The vessel consists of two halves, moulded separately and stuck together before firing. Their junction runs through the median axis of the vessel and the projections that represent the jointly possessed ears. Immediately above these a horn projects obliquely on each side. Whether these horns are fudimentary handles, or whether they served as pointes of attachments for a possible suspension cord, I am unable to determine. Pl. III 4-c shows one of these vessels, which is almost intact. The foot, which is composed of the neck possessed in common by the two faces, is of small diameter, and it appears probable that the vessel was principally designed for hanging." Montell 1936, p. 158.

Arkeologiskt föremål förvärvat i Borazan. Föremålen inköpta av Hedin från lokalbefolkningen. I brev hem av den 10 januari 1896 skriver Hedin: "Yesterday I visited the village of Borazan, where those remarkable Buddhist antiquities are found, but I made practically no discoveries. On the other hand the natives come along daily with their terracotta figures, pots, precious stones with engraved portraits, coins, Buddha images etc. ... and I have acquired a lot of these things cheaply enough. There is an old Tartar, of Orenburg, living here, by the name of Rafikoff, and he speaks Russian fluently. He has paid me several visits, and when I called upon him he presented me with a number of these antiquities." - cit Montell 1936 nr 7.
