Prjevalsky appears in the book as a Russian explorer whose findings about Lob-nor become part of a debate with Baron von Richthofen. He is also cited for describing the Tumir-Alku tomb and for reporting the Ordos as the legendary burial place. The account preserves him chiefly through these observations, leaving his personal life and character beyond its scope.
Description
The text provides no reliable physical description of Prjevalsky: his height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, and facial features are unspecified. It identifies him as a Russian explorer, but gives no consistent account of his clothing, accessories, or distinguishing marks. Any portrait should therefore avoid assigning him particular physical traits.
