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.
E.62.17 Stone scarab. The beetle is sat on a flat base. The upper body is flat. The antenna and 'head' of the beetle are also detailed.
E.62.19 Hammer shaped handle with a slit where the mirror sat in the top. The top parts are curved over. The handle is rounded and wider at the end.
E.65.11 Not perfectly round but still circular. Widest from side to side. Has a rectangular extension at base so that the object would have sat in the handle. Flat and thin with slightly sloped edges to avoid making them sharp.
REDMG:1953.25.67 Nearly flat lid, with rounded rim, curving into a deep thin flange, whereby lid would have sat probably within the pyxis; button knob at centre.
