2007.9.3.133 Animal, most likely a wolf, suckling two infants. Probably Romulus and Remus.
2007.9.3.64 Female figure, with Eastern jewellery and dress. A snake is biting her breast. Likely to be Cleopatra.
2007.9.3.90 A figure standing under a shelter/frame. A winged boy, most likely Cupid, is to the left.
22.3.35 Upper part possesses a unique pattern that could be intended to mimic a type of plant, consisting of a single white dot in the centre with six triangular shapes surrounding it, each with a white spot upon them, and a white line on each of their ends; both above and below this pattern are two straight lines, brown of colour. At the bottom is another unique pattern consisting of three white dots above what could be a type of pot drawing, with several straight lines upon it. Both these unique decorations are likely part of a larger pattern upon the original artefact's exterior.
22.3.38 On the outside are several patterns, likely painted on as part of a larger decoration upon the original artefact as a complete object. The inside has a single large, slightly curved light orange line; again, potentially part of a larger pattern on the interior of the artefact.
23.11.26 Upper portion painted black; lower portion painted white. At one point around the middle section, there appears to be an orange straight line, which likely reached round the entire object.
73.6.3 Black figure painting consisting mainly of two large straight lights, one at the bottom, and the other in the middle. There are several patterns on the upper part, though it is challenging to fully make out what they are, though it is likely they are forming part of a story portrayed across the rest of the pot.
73.9.30 Several lines on the outside forming a pattern, likely part of a clearer image on the original object it comes from.
73.9.31 Painted on patterns that are hard to make out, though likely part of a larger image when the whole item is assembled into one.
73.9.32 Plus symbol and a straight line symbol painted on outside, likely part of a larger pattern on the object it is originally from. On inside are two differing shades, one a dark grey colour, and the other a dark brown, the grey being on the outer side, and the brown on the inner.
83.2.5 Short horn shaped piece of terracotta in a pale yellow clay. On one side are several brown/red coloured lines, likely part of a larger pattern originally from the item the horn was broken off from. They appear to have been worn away over time.
E.23.3 Model of Nile boat, with six rowers with six oars and a steersman standing and steering with paddle. Another figure standing in front of steersman, by mast, and a final figure sitting behind the rowers. Figures are painted with brown pigment for skin, black pigment for hair. There is a faint red pigment on the 'deck', going from top to bottom and then several horizontal lines. It is unlikely that all of the figures are originally from this boat. The number 886 (988) is visable on the boat, which likely the tomb number.
E.23.60 The beads are varying in colour but the prominant colour is green. The string the beads are on is actually too long for the beads so it likely not the original string suggesting that these beads were probably not all worn together.
TEMP.2003.7.74 Inside is dark grey coloured, whereas outside is more light orange coloured. Upper part of outside appears to have a black line across the top that has been worn away over time. The middle section has a thicker brown line which likely went around the entirety of the original artefact. Lower part of object is dark grey, again likely part of a larger coloured section of the origional, complete object.
