E.23.9 Wide mouth with pronounced lip, slightly rounded shoulders, very flat base. Small wavy handles on either side (rudimentary, perhaps only for decoration). Buff coloured, except for a wavy design in a darker colour, which suggests that the material is sand-based.

REDMG:1953.25.74 Coarse material. Very shallow plate. Inside are traces of orange and brown deposits. Incised band inside rim and maybe around base too. Surface is not flat but has small lumps, perhaps caused by inclusions. Base is flat. Reserved.
REDMG:1953.25.85 Top is flat and squared off. Groove below rim then the rim is diagonal, rounded ridge at base. Large flat section with design sculpted on top of it so it is in relief. Scene is of a griffin, a winged creature with bird head and lion-like paws. The ribs are clearly visible as are the lines in the wings. Front left paw is raised above a stick with snakes (?) curled around or a decorative branch (?). Below is a higher moulded ridge with raised egg and dot pattern beneath, before another moulded ridge. Bottom is flat but has diagonal scratches carved in - perhaps to help this section adhere to whatever it was originally part of. Many inclusions in material.
REDMG:1964.1642.1 Circular, horizontal handle attached to rim of a cup or skyphos. Thin material. Traces of black colouring suggesting a black glaze. Handle is not moulded out of, but stuck on to, the body of the object.
REDMG:1964.1688.1 Slightly curved from left to right and curved from top to bottom, becoming steeper towards bottom of fragment. This suggests that the fragment may have belonged to a cup of some description which has straight rim and a sloping body (?) Fragment has the rim of the object. The rim is black and flat on the top. On the interior surface is a black band below rim, red, broad band, thin black band and red again. The exterior surface appears to have been black all over but faded to red.
