Detail of the face are still evident, but the nose shows areas of wear on the tip. The inside is a pinkish colour, with little evidence of deposit, though the surface feels rough to touch.
34.10.17 Complete. The white slip has worn away in places, and there is a smooth grey deposit evident in patches. Also, the munsell colour shows through. The features of the face are still fairly clear, but the eyes seem worn. The surface all over feels smooth, but the base of the neck is slightly uneven and a bit chipped.
45.9.1 Possibly repaired. Paint is in bad condition and surface feels rough as paint has flaked away. Glaze has been lost and the paint on the foot and inside the mouth is untidy and streaky.
74.7.5 Complete. Has been glued back together from two pieces. Is entirely covered by dark deposit, possibly from the action of fire. Thought to be from a burnt grave.

The back is much lighter in colour, but still covered in brown/green deposit and feels rough to the touch.
