2003.6.18 Base fragment of a small pot, decorated with three straight lines at the base, two of which are black; the middle one is of a faded purple colour. Above the lines is a large black pattern which takes up nearly all of the space left on the fragment. The interior is decorated with a black gloss.

84.8.3 Amphora stamp. Stamp rectangular and takes up most part of the handle. Letters are still visible but worn. Small hole in break of handle.
REDMG:1953.25.81 The piece consists of half of a foot, which is broken about halfway down its length. The half remaining includes all five toes, with slightly curling little toes and a rather stumpy big toe. The foot sits upon a thick sandal. Under this is a chunk of unworked marble, presumably part of the original base of the statue, which takes up about the same amount of mass as the carved foot does. This underside is rough and worn. The break halfway through the foot in fairly clean, leaving a rough, but planar surface.
