There are 23 objects for which Condition contains → so
14.9.107 Rim is chipped away, as is foot, so that object stands unevenly. Gloss worn and scratched on the interior and exterior. It retains lustre.
2008.7.178 Fragment; worn heavily and so covered in dirt that establishing the Munsell color and decoration are practically impossible.
22.3.4 Incomplete as one handle and part of rim are missing. Heavy deposits inside and white, thinner ones on mouth and handle. Base damaged so object does not sit properly.
26.2.26 Underside has slight patches of discolouration and bands are starting to fade. The topside has lost the white decoration so that only traces remain. No surface damage or deposit.
27.3.7 Most of mouth restored so paint has been lost. A good amount of colour remains on the body.
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.
45.6.13 Intact, but badly worn on the surface so that the design is crude and lacking detail. Black paint at neck, mouth and towards base has almost completely worn away. 'Chunks' of clay missing in three or four places on body.
47.2.24 Good, but missing one handle, paint slightly faded and pinkish in places. Base not completely flat so object slightly unstable
47.2.4 Part of the rim and upper body has been chipped off. The one of the handles has been rejoined to the body and so is the one of the two springs of the other handle. The rest of the second handle is missing. The gloss is greenish and streaky at some areas. There are deposits, especially on the area above the foot and on the base. Some remains of adhesives? at the one handle.
48.12.3 Intact but missing several large chips from the rim, one from the handle joint, from the foot. Interior pitted so red fabric shows through. White deposits on the interior in the area under one handle.
49.8.9 Intact, except for tiny chips on the rim and three small gouges on the lower body. The vessel's condition is very good, as the paint is not worn and the glaze remains. There is a dent in the body but this was made during production. Only slight wearing of the purple dots but not so as they become indistinguishable.
50.12.29 Single fragment; colour extremely faded so that the pattern hard to distinguish; residue of black streaks on exterior.
51.4.7 Comprised of two fragments joining. Colour and incised detail remain clear. Glaze still a little shiny on interior but not so much on exterior surface.
59.6.2 Well worn and not so round on one side.
73.9.6 Fragment. The front of the fragment has a few small scratches in it, as well as a patch of pinky/grey deposit at the top of the figure. To the right of the figure, the fragment has split in half, so only the back half remains. The back of the fragment has small scratches and a couple of chips in the surface of the glaze.
E.23.11 Intact and complete, with many scratches on the top of the trapezoid. There is a large black deposit on the base, which viscous to the touch so is probably quite recent.
E.23.3 Intact, although figures likely from other boat models. The paint on all figures has degraded and does not merit individual description. Detail is missing from the bow and stern of the boat where the wood has degraded so much. There is also fissures in the wood of the deck of the boat.
E.63.16 Intact and complete. Very little glaze has been removed but some brown deposit can be found on the underside detail and more so on the right legs of the beetle.
E.65.11 Intact. Small area of polished metal showing through on rectangular extension but not reflective. Major discolouration and deterioration to the surface of both sides. Small surface scratches. Does not sit flat so the object must be slightly bent.
E.65.17 Intact and complete, There is very little detail remaining, so it may have been painted on. The glaze has rubbed off and there is a white deposit on the amulet on both sides.
L.2016.3.10 Badly worn surface, so it's difficult to see any details of the features and hair. Light grey-yellowish deposits on the interior of the object as well as the handle and rim.
L.2016.3.25 The portrait head is worn, the reverse side seems to be better preserved. Not purged of deposits, so everything is just barely discernible.
REDMG:1953.25.85 Sculpture is not worn so design can still be seen. Many inclusions in clay. Large area of thick deposit on reverse side at top.
