2007.9.3.44 Depicts story of Gaius Mucius Scaevola, a general who burns his right hand as punishment after killing the wrong man.
73.6.1 Fragment appears to be showing two characters, though only their legs and part of the robes they are wearing are visible; it could be part of a story being told. Beneath the feet of the characters are two circular lines which, probably part of a pattern. On the left side of the fragment are several lines with dots around the outside of them which could be a visual representation of grape vines. Around both the vines and next to one of the characters are several larger black dots that could be larger fruits. The right side of the fragment appears to portray another pattern consisting of several wavy lines, though this one is harder to fully make out than the others.
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.
