There are 12 objects for which Condition contains → artefact
22.3.36 Fragmentary with numerous chips across the edges of the exterior and interior of the artefact, the face of the object and its handle. Countless, small chunks of paint are missing from both the outer and inner faces of the artefact.
E.23.33 Intact. There is a large amount of white deposit all over the artefact, and several shallow chips out of the surface. The surface itself is very rough.
E.23.38 Intact, it is clear from the top and bottom part of the artefact that it has been removed from a larger object, since they appear to be thinner than the rest of the object and therefore look like 'connectors' of some kind. There appears to be very little degradation of the wood. There are some remnants of a white pigment on the lower half.
E.23.5 Intact, if it did have ivory handle it is no longer there. There is a small amount of brown deposit around the edges of the artefact.
E.62.17 Intact and complete. The details are still clear and there is no obvious damage to the artefact.
E.62.32 Intact. There is a large area where the top layer of limestone has worn away revealing the orginal colour of the limestone. There is a large amount of brown deposit all over the artefact.
E.62.4 Intact not complete (the head is missing). The detail is becoming less desinite and the underside has become dirty with what appears to be watermarks. There are small amounts of black deposit sparcely placed around the artefact.
E.63.1 Fragmentary but intact. There are no major cracks, but there is a large amount of muddy deposit all over the artefact.
E.63.2 Intact and complete, inspite of the fact that the surface remains smooth much of the blue pigment is gone and the artefact is now mostly brown. There is very little loss of the carved details.
E.63.24 Three chips on the lip. Several defects all around the artefact, one has been filled in. Only a few of the defects are deep enough to show the inside of the pot: it is circular patch of grey discoloration approximately two-thirds of the way down.
E.65.16 Intact and complete, the glaze has gone abd there is no more painted detail. There are areas of white deposit all over the artefact.
E.79.2 Intact and complete, there is a large chip missing from the edge of the bowl opposite the channel described above. The surface of the artefact is very rough and there is a large amount of grey deposit on large portions of the plate.
