14.9.44 Small areas of pink deposit. The outer ripples appear somewhat blurred. No damage to rim.
22.9.5 Currently in 9 fragments. Main body of cup has had one fragment glued back into place. Does not appear that all pieces of cup are present. Needs to be reconstructed. Base has large chip. Bad condition however, black glaze seems to be in a good condition.
23.11.31C2 The tips of the wings appear incomplete. The head has broken off, and the hem of the skirt is corroded.
23.11.31OO pretty good condition. does not appear to be that fragmented.
27.4.12 Complete; repaired from seven pieces. The rim is uneven, and contains two small but definite chips. All over the surface are small scratches and patches of wear. The pattern on the rim contains few subtle patches of red, the same colour as patches on the handles. Patterns in the centre of the bowl appear to have rubbed away in patches. Underneath, the patterns remain more prominant, but again small patches of wear are evident, especially around the rim. Inside the foot are greyish white deposits, that are also found underneath the rim in small patches near the handles.
38.4.3 Complete, appears intact. Paint extremely faded. Inside of mouth has over three small chips. There is one noticeable chip on the outside of the lip. The paint on the neck appears to have been worn away, because a pinkish clay is showing which does not appear to be a fading of the black decoration. There are at least two hairline cracks on the shoulder, with some of the clay worn away. The handles are in good condition with no noticeable chips, whereas the body has several chips and cracks. The base has a few small chips but is in very good condition.
48.12.13 Intact. Rim has small chips, the body has chips of varying sizes and also small holes which do not appear to go all the way through the fabric. There is a piece of debris in one of the handles. Colour is fading in some places, maybe due to firing process.
50.12.44 Single fragment, with red worn off of the underside, leaving only traces. Dark spots of deposit appear on the exterior.
50.4.14 Comprised of several rejoined pieces. Gloss is in excellent condition, although the two chips out of the rim appear to have been repainted after repair. Small chips around the ring foot.
67.6.2 Well kept, though part of hair on the back-right appears to be missing and the nose is chipped off. Parts of the paint also appear to be chipped off/missing, particularly on the stand.
E.23.38 Intact, it is clear from the top and bottom part of the artefact that it has been removed from a larger object, since they appear to be thinner than the rest of the object and therefore look like 'connectors' of some kind. There appears to be very little degradation of the wood. There are some remnants of a white pigment on the lower half.
E.62.37 Intact and complete. There are several small chips around the rim. There appear to be several water marks on the inside of the bowl. The base and some parts of the body are covered in an encrusted light brown deposit.
E.65.10 Intact. Slight discolouration to bronze due to deterioration. Small surface scratches and deposits make surface appear slightly uneven although it feels smooth.
