23.11.31K Slightly fragmented, but still in good condition (e.g. face visible), despite chipped-off spear; thin legs visible from beneath shield. Colour whitish-grey.
25.8.4 Difficult to see main design due to erosion of paint but intact despite small chip in body.
48.12.9 Intact. Good condition despite a small chip on the underside of the lip and some scratches on the surface.
50.5.1 Badly fired leaving traces of red, especialy around lower body. Intact despite dents and scratches to body and handle. Only traces of the white design remain. Major grey/white deposit build up on base and interior. Gloss is quite lustrous.
50.5.6 Intact. Paint appears extremely dull and matt despite being badly worn. Flaked off from most part of the decoration. Peach colour on small areas inside and corresponding exterior surface. A number of chips on the lower part of the base. The larger allows the clay inclusions (white stones) to show through.
67.7.3 Reed not preserved. Silver has broken away in places but has lost some of its glaze and lustre in others. The bronze has deteriorated to green in places. Some repair to silver and bulbous neck. The instrument is in fact sturdy despite its outward appearance.
REDMG:1935.87.19 Intact but with a couple of small chips on the body. Decoration very worn around mouth; images remain reasonably clear despite erosion of colouring.
REDMG:1953.25.97 Features remain well defined despite having collected small white deposits. Back of the head is more worn than the front.
