Pelliot was most famous for his role in the discovery of texts and manuscripts at Dunhuang. For a comparative ephemera from circa 10th century see Caves of the Thousand Buddhas: Chinese Art from the Silk Route p. 83, cat no 64. **Due to Covid-19, London Chiswick Auctions is operating a skeleton staff working remotely.
