2007.10.2.236 A powerfully built male figure kneeling with one arm (right) raised, his hand making a fist. The other arm is lowered and appears to bound (possibly) behind his back. His head is bowed. The figure appears to have a small winged figure upon his back. It is not clear if he is carrying the second figure or if there is some sort of struggle in process.
2007.10.2.246 Profile of a male with curly hair facing to the left. There is a laurel wreath upon his head.
2007.10.2.294 A young winged figure seated on the ground (probably Eros). The figure's body is facing to the left while the head is turned back looking to the right. The figure is possibly looking at a stand to its right which has a complete set of armour placed upon it.
2007.10.2.299 Semi-naked female figure with a robe draped over her outsretched left arm. The figure is standing next to a plinth upon which a large bird is standing (probably a peacock).
2007.10.2.306 At the centre of the cast is a naked young male, he is seated on what appears to be a large smooth rock. A large serpent is coiled beneath the male figure and to the right a lyre is placed on a stand or podium. On the far right of the cast a second stand or podium is carved, this one has what appears to be a tripod standing upon it. To the far left of the cast stands a clothed female figure. She is holding a rod or staff. Her attention is not upon the central scene, she appears distracted by something which is occurring further left as her gaze is directed that way.
2007.10.2.307 A bearded male figure crouches before a large handled urn. The urn is decorated with a simple line pattern. The figure appears to be holding a small hammer in his right hand, which he is possibly in the process of using (his gaze/concentration appears fixed upon it). To the far right of cast a tree is depicted, perhaps to simply denote the scene is an exterior one (rural rather than urban might also be suggested).
2007.10.2.88 Male bust in profile facing right. He rests his chin upon his hand.
2007.9.2.17 Displays a seated woman sitting in front of a column topped by the bust of a man, upon which her left hand rests, whilst in her right hand she holds a pen. (Box Index = Goddess Happiness with the portrait of His Excellence Prince Zizindorph).
2008.2.1.40 A small winged figure (probably male) with a quivver upon its back. The figure is seated, upon what appears to be an upturned helmet, and is facing to the left.
2008.2.1.41 A small naked and winged male figure in frontal aspect facing slightly to the right. The figure is holding a bow and a club (which is resting upon his left shoulder)in his left hand. At the feet of the figure on the right side of the cast is a quivver.
2008.2.1.64 A semi-naked female figure stands before a branch, upon which is a disembodied male head. At the foot of the branch is a helmet and a shield. The figure appears to be making some sort of offering from a bowl like object.
2008.2.1.66 Bust of a male figure facing to the right. Over the figure's right shoulder is a shield with an image of a Medusa upon it. A spear is visible over the figure's left shoulder. Upon the figure's head is a helmet decorated with a griffin.
2008.2.1.74 To the left of the scene is a semi-naked male figure appears to be sitting upon a table, there is a second male figure on his knees in front of the other fully clothes and bearded he seems to be much elder than the first. This figure is grasping the seated figures knees possibly in an act of supplication. Behind these figures two further male figures on look, one of these throws his hand out, he's mouth is open suggesting he is surprised or angry. The background setting is heavily draped so is perhaps the interior of a tent.
2008.9.25 Exterior: 1 fairly wide curved raised ridge running across centre of fragment. 5 short vertical lines overpainted in a pinkish-colour faintly visible upon this ridge. A small patch of brownish-grey remains below.
2009.10.2.311 Herakles is depicted facing left. With his right hand he rests his club upon his shoulder whilst with his left he holds the skin the nemean lion.
22.3.31 On the exterior of the object, a series of wave like patterns can be found upon the upper section of the fragment. Beneath this pattern are a series of other decorations consisting of several relatively large lines, and in between these are numerous thin lines with moderately large dots above them. The interior of the fragment has no decorations however.
22.3.35 Upper part possesses a unique pattern that could be intended to mimic a type of plant, consisting of a single white dot in the centre with six triangular shapes surrounding it, each with a white spot upon them, and a white line on each of their ends; both above and below this pattern are two straight lines, brown of colour. At the bottom is another unique pattern consisting of three white dots above what could be a type of pot drawing, with several straight lines upon it. Both these unique decorations are likely part of a larger pattern upon the original artefact's exterior.
22.3.37 Around the middle there is a painting of what appears to be a sort of vine, with numerous flowers pods protruding out of it, and several other flowers that have blossomed. At the bottom there is a small part of what appears to be from a larger pattern upon the original artefact. The exterior of object in which the paintings are upon is itself painted black.
22.3.38 On the outside are several patterns, likely painted on as part of a larger decoration upon the original artefact as a complete object. The inside has a single large, slightly curved light orange line; again, potentially part of a larger pattern on the interior of the artefact.
83.2.3 No apparent decoration upon the artefact.
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.
T.2012.11.28 Two large lines upon the outer part, one at the top, the other at the bottom, that spread across its face and form a sort of box. Within the box appears to be a painting of grape vine with a series of heart-shaped leaves forming a pattern, as well as several patterns of what seem to be four lots of grapes. There are no decorations on the inside of the fragment.
