23.11.7 Flat base; rounded lower body to which are attached two small triangular handles, circular in cross-section, which rise slightly; sharply curved join to upper body, which flares broadly to a plain, rounded rim.
23.11.8 Flat base; bulbous lower body from which emerge two horizontal handles, circular in cross-section, which rise slightly; carinated at join to upper body which flares broadly to a plain, rounded rim.
28.9.1 Mouth flares out and rim is flat. High vertical handle joined to rim with surs either side. Body has two horizontal handles. Base has central convex circle.
34.10.8 Short cylindrical knob, with grooved flat top, grooved profile, and conical stem broadening to the slightly domed top of the lid. At the midpoint of the lid, beyond a gentle groove and a ridge, the lid flares to a rounded edge, the underside of which narrows to a tapering straight sided walls that would have sat inside the vase to which it belonged (perhaps a stamnos). The underside of the lid is hollowed, rounded, and smooth.
67.7.2 Outturned rim; long, thin, roughly rendered neck; inverted oviod body tapering smoothly into thin stem slightly shorter than neck; flares out to flat base.
70.3.3 Ian McPhee describes it as a Kotyle rather than Skyphos type c (?). Tapering ring base, rounded at the bottom, from which the body rises in a sharp diagonal, curving sharply approximately at the halfway point, from which it rises near vertically and eventually flares slightly to a plain, rounded rim, just below which are attached two horse-shoe shaped handles, almost round in cross section.
E.23.29 Fragment which takes the shape of cylinder that flares to a flat base with inscription. It is thought that objects like this were part of the facade of 18th Dynasty Theban tomb chapels. Inscriptions on objects of this type normally include the name and title of owner, although the hieroglyphs on this piece are confused.
E.23.33 Lip is unpronounced, long neck flares to shoulder/widest point, which then tapers to pointed foot. The rough handles are directly opposite each other on the widest point.
E.63.28 The lip is narrow, no neck and a weak shoulder. The body flares to the widest point in the lower half of the jar just above the foot. The widest point tapers to the foot, which is approximately 1cm in height with a flat base.
REDMG:1935.87.3 Mouth has flat rim and flares upwards.
REDMG:1951.141 Flaring rounded rim with flat lip, narrowing to a funnel-shaped body that curves sharply in the lower part to a broad stem that flares into a molded pedestal base, with a slanted exterior, ridged on the upper part, and a concave underside, pointed at the centre; two incurving horizontal round handles are attached just above the centre of the body.
REDMG:1953.25.57 Cup mouth with slighted everted, rounded rim, concave lip, narrows to neck, which flares to a top-heavy body; round vertical extends horizontally from the rim and descends in slight s-curve to the shoulder; slightly raised base with flat underside, worked with spiral pattern grooved in.
REDMG:1953.25.61 Moulded mouth, flares to tall rim, which narrows to a tall, cylindrical neck; neck curves gently into a sloping shoulder, grooved near the join to the body, which broadens slightly and then tapers, with slightly concave sides, to a slightly raised base, grooved on the resting surface, flat on the sunken underside.
