There are 10 objects for which Decoration contains → remain
13.10.5 Perforations at the lower end, of which three out of four remain, two on each side, the upper two level to each other, both just below the widest part of the spear. This is presumably where the dagger was attached to a shaft. The width of handle tapers on each end. While the centre of the fragment is thicker, raised on one face, the thickness diminishes towards the sides, which are rounded at the thicker (upper?) end.
2004.8.4 The rim is decorated with a thin black band, with a reserved band below and another black band below this. Two youths (black in colour) stand facing each other, with the figure on the right presenting a white cock, of which, elements remain (painted over the figure). Behind each figure the tail and part of a sphinx can be seen. The sphinx behind the right figure has incised lines dividing the wing feathers. The centre of the sphinx's wing appears purple in colour. There are faint, incised lines that give the outline of the youths' heads (where paint has been worn away). The reverse of the fragment is black with a reserved circle on top of the rim.
2008.7.145 Interior: cream wash with 4 parallel horizontal lines overpainted in greyish-black creating 2 bands of pattern, one twice the width of the other. The narrower band contains 5 semi-circles, and the narrower a more irregular pattern of intersecting curved and straight lines. Exterior: Cream wash with narrow, evenly-spaced parallel horizontal lines overpainted in greyish-black. Patches of brownish glaze remain.
2008.7.62 Interior: black wash. Exterior: thin parallel lines faintly visible at top and bottom of fragment. Between these, patches of overpainting in cream, black and brown remain.
26.2.43 yellowish slip; exterior: part of two animal friezes consisting of grazing goats, separated by band with aded red line; of upper frieze head, ear, antler and one foreleg of one goat and one hind leg of second remain, to right; part of dot rosette and lozenges as filling ornament; lower frieze preserves shoulder, back, and antler of one goat to left, with triangles and dot rosettes as filling ornament.
48.12.1 Bowl of rather coarse clay. Interior glossed black, although only traces of brown remain. Two rounded handles, one on each side, with traces of faint brownish-black gloss. Outside, narrow bands immediately below rim and at base of handles. Between the handles is pair of parallel wavy lines (only on front). Black gloss from below handles to foot. Foot is rounded and base is concave and reserved.
51.4.2 The top surface of the rim is reserved (but glossed), however the side bears a black meander pattern. The scene consists of two chariots, the left one with three horses (below their knees the piece is missing) and the right one with four (only two of the heads remain). The left hand side charioteer is not visible, however it is obvious that he was holding and stretching the bridle. The upper part of the chariot is also visible. The second charioteer wears white chiton and red stephane (fillet) on the head and his chariot is visible. Each figure has incisions around its edges, as well as for the depiction of details. Some parts of the horse bodies are emphasized by added red colour. Body: The surface is black. The interior of the neck and body is also black, apart from a red band at the top of the rim.
REDMG:1953.25.43 Black glaze (mostly disappeared). Incised decoration: a large double palmette and three rosettes (of which two remain).
REDMG:1964.1635.1 Handle, rim and part of body remain. Handle is circular and curved. The inside has traces of thin and faded red strokes. Exterior surface was black but only traces remain on rim and around one side of handle.
TEMP.2002.9.26 Interior surface is black with a reserved band inside rim. Rim and part of body remain. Offset rim is painted black. The picture is of a bird (perhaps a swan ?) with wings outstretched and neck curved. Bird is facing left, towards a horizontal line of four black dots. Below is a black band.
