14.9.42 Pinkish-buff clay. Exterior surface has poor, dull black paint in a pattern of three linked spirals between broad bands. Interior surface is reserved except for an irregular streak of red top to bottom. No finished edges.
2007.9.1.111 Displays a shield divided into four sections, each bearing symbols. Surrounded by a border with Gothic Latin writing, unreadable due to the poor quality of the cast.
L.2013.10.1 Egyptian scarab with illegible inscription or image on the base. Poor condition with grey deposits across the surface. Hole through the centre running length ways.
REDMG:1934.51.8 Black glaze all over, although patchy (perhaps as a result of poor firing) on the lower part of the body and foot.
TEMP.2002.9.1 Squat clay bowl with simple motif and two handles. Low foot painted with a black line. The bottom of the bowl is slightly angled (although irregular). The body (slightly lopsided) curves toward a carination where there is a slightly wavy horizontal band. Two handles, one either side and roughly with a line of black gloss. The rim flares slightly and is decorated with a line above a simple zig zag (which is of poor quality). The interior is almost plain with a ring painted at the base.
