22.3.30 Single fragment, chipped on the exterior in three places, largest chip 2cm; white pigment on figure's neck slightly worn, chip to right of figure, discolouring on face. Interior soiled and chipped.
34.8.14 Intact and complete. Much of the glaze remains but in areas where it has rubbed of the green pigment is also missing. The painted detail remains in good condition, the face detail however was not painted and has greatly worn away. It would also seem that the left arm has worn down since the pigment is missing and the arm seems stunted cvompared to its companion. There are several obvious cracks around the feet.
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.23.52 Intact and complete apart from chip off the corner of the base. Much of the glaze remains but in areas where it has rubbed of the green pigment is also missing.
E.23.55 Intact and complete, the glaze is gone leaving a rough surgace, a large amount of the green pigment is missing and some details from the mouth, also the inscription is incomplete.
E.23.56 Intact and complete, although the glaze is mostly gone most of the green pigment remains. The details remain clear although the inscription is incomplete.
E.23.57 Intact and complete, most of the glaze and a large portion of the green pigment is gone. The are several large cracks on the body underneath the head. A large amount of detail is missing particularly the inscription and the shoulder decoration.
E.62.16 Intact and complete. Some of the black pigment has gone and several edges have slight scratches. The most significant damage is a scratch on the side with twelve dots that goes from one side in a straight line to the other.
E.62.26 Intact, two large chips out of the lip next to each other. Small amounts of white deposit on the outside. There is also a small amount of wearing of the red pigment.
E.62.3 Single fragment. The image is complete except for the large chip in the head of the worshipper. There is also Red pigment remaining on his body. The bottom left of the fragment has no image and is speckled with a grey deposit.
E.63.2 Intact and complete, inspite of the fact that the surface remains smooth much of the blue pigment is gone and the artefact is now mostly brown. There is very little loss of the carved details.
E.63.3 Intact and complete, most of the green pigment has faded although the glaze remains.
E.65.3 Complete, but repaired. There three large breaks in the pot that have been repaired but are still very evident near the rim. Although the surphace is still smooth a large amount of the red pigment on the out side has worn away while similar occurances inside have meant that some of the decoration has been lost.
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.
