There are 6 objects for which Condition contains → therefore
22.9.6 Consists of 7 fragments and 6 more fragents yet to be reconstructed. A small fragment seems to have been missing when most of the cup was put back together, therefore somebody has used plaster to refill the small piece. One of the side handles broken off and most of the side of the cup is incomplete. Bad condition. Black glaze worn. Small soil deposits situated around cup.
47.2.21 Intact; string not original, and therefore striking ball may not be original. Surface worn, with medium-brown deposits.
50.5.2 Complete, but foot repaired and paint is therefore missing. Some repainting, specifically on reverse. Small chip to rim.
83.10.1 Quite badly worn. It has been glued back together using three fragments. There seems to be a fragment missing at the bottom of the statue, therefore the figurine is incomplete. Most of the features of the statue are badly worn. There are many soil deposits all over the figure. Inside the hollow figurine there appears to be some sort of plant.
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.65.8 Condition is excellent except the leather is stiff and therefore delicate. Left: point is missing from toe, leather straps are broken and incomplete. Right: leather straps complete but broken on the left hand side.
