There are 16 objects for which Condition contains → nose
11.10.3 Complete and intact. There are tiny air bubbles over the surface, as well as small areas of brownish deposit. Detailed markings on face and hands are slightly worn away. The left eyebrow, left eye, nose and mouth however, are all still clearly visible. Material on the resting surface has flaked away in areas. Originally painted red all over.
14.9.118 Intact, a small section from the left eye to the nose is missing, chips around left arm, right arm broken. Chips on legs.
19.53.86 Single fragment preserving only the head of female figurine, broken at the neck. In good condition, crack at top of nose and slightly worn but features still clear.
29.11.11 Incomplete. The sides of the mask have broken away, and the slip is covered in patches of grey/brown deposit. 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.
34.10.20 Intact and complete. The figure is almost entirely covered by a grey deposit, which makes the surface feel rough. Small detail still remains, on the face, the nose, mouth and one eye. The right foot is also detailed.
34.10.26 Intact but not complete. Detail of the hair remains very clear, but the features on the face are less so. The eyes have been worn almost completely away, and the nose has a chip in one side. At the top of the forhead, just where the hair begins, is a hole. The top and back are uneven and show small holes on the surface. There is a small amount of dirty deposit at the base of the neck, and inside the hollow of the head.
47.2.26 Worn, especially facial features. Nose chipped.
47.2.33 Intact, but bottom of nose missing and right ear more worn than left. Some chipping on the lower body. Some concretion to back around arms and tambourine.
47.2.34 Similar in shape and attitude to 47.2.32 and 47.2.33. Intact, although in the worst condition of this group. Nose chipped, right hand ear worn. Concretion on face, back and right hand side.
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.
67.7.1 Incomplete. The figure has broken in half and been glued back together, however, at the back, there is a chip missing still. The grey colour is interspersed with deposit of a dark brown colour, which is even more prominant on the back. The features of the face have almost all worn away, except for the nose. Around the front and sides of the base are white and dark grey deposits.
E.23.17 A large amount of skin coloured paint has chipped of, particularly around the bottom and edges of the object. The paint on the chest is quite well preserved. There is a large fragment missing from the right shoulder which also removes part of the lower right hand side of the pace. The nose and eye work has been removed or fallen off. A large amount of black paint has chipped of the top of the object. There is also a hole in top of the head and a large crack originating on the lefthand side of 'hair' and ending near the base of the face.
REDMG:1953.25.83 Intact if fragmentary. The facial features, especially the nose and right ear, have worn down quite considerably although it is still clear what they are meant to be. The line of breakage is straight, falling from the right ear to the middle of the left side of the neck.
REDMG:1953.25.98 Fragment broken off from a larger item. There is a large amount of white pigment remaining on the suface; this suggests that it was originally white in colour. The nose is quite short, perhaps because it has been worn down.
REDMG:1958.39.1 Part of splayed base missing, some concretion on back. Face worn, eyes depicted with paint now lost. Nose damaged, ears protrude although now worn.
TEMP.2002.9.16 Nose is missing (as it probably is from the original). Hair is uneven as parts of the cast are missing from one side. Cast is placed on a black stand, also made of plaster.
