There are 19 objects for which Condition contains → perhaps
13.10.6 Single piece, perhaps broken off at the bottom (flaring end of the 'heart'). The shiny blackish-brown surface has acquired a green patina in patches.
14.9.70 Fragment of the bottom of a perhaps a ball aryballos
26.12.3 Small hole in body has perhaps been filled to repair. Much wear on paint although lion remain clear.
28.6.6 Damage to one handle almost breaking the circle. Complete handle has deposits (perhaps from burial). Paint is very worn and in most places only staining remains. For such a fragile rim it is in excellent condition with no chips.
29.11.13 Missing (part of) head. Large areas of brownish-grey deposit all over body, with areas of white slip showing through in some places and chipped off elsewhere. On stomach, in between two front legs, is a small hole, perhaps from the firing process.
45.6.34 Perhaps repaired handle? Gloss is not shiny and s fired red and light brown on parts of the body. Small scratches on the body and the handle.
48.12.1 Intact but gloss very badly worn inside and out. Air bubble type holes, perhaps from firing.
E.62.46 Due to deterioration the sharp edge has disappeared due to deposits. The tip is missing and the bronze has discolored to green in places. Two small holes near the nail have appeared perhaps due to deterioration as well.
E.62.47 The coulouring (perhaps a wash)has worn off in some small patches, particularly around the edges. There are some shallow cracks around the details of Hat-Hor.
E.62.9 Teeth are all different lengths and there are deposits caught between teeth. The bottom of the comb appears darker in colour, perhaps slightly damp.
REDMG:1926.99.52 Surface stained dark, perhaps with modern glaze. Some decoration worn and scratched off; alabastron cracked and repaired at the back end of the sphinx.
REDMG:1947.13.1 The mouth has been repaired from five or more fragments, each handle from three fragments (with some parts missing and restored on the left handle). The body is reconstructed from 15 or more fragments and the foot has been restored in wood. There is a hole (perhaps original). In the base. Slightly chipped on the mouth, pitted, and scratched; traces of white plaster on the external surface, while the interior and bottom are covered with plaster. Faded decoration in patches.
REDMG:1953.25.65 Part of mouth missing, and corresponding chip in ring or perhaps missing handle.
REDMG:1953.25.98 Fragment broken off from a larger item. There is a large amount of white pigment remaining on the suface; this suggests that it was originally white in colour. The nose is quite short, perhaps because it has been worn down.
REDMG:1953.25.99 Head missing above shoulders. Uneven base, perhaps was attached to something else and acted as a decoration(?). Some dark red deposits on front. Some scratches to knee. White deposits on reverse.
REDMG:1964.1647 Mouth missing; gouge in shoulder (perhaps inclusion blown out in firing process); decoration worn and discoloured, with light grey deposits, especially on handle; base slightly chipped.
REDMG:2004.95.1 Restored (foot and handle) smoothed over with plaster (especially clear at join of handle to body and neck) with repainting (especially on handle). White glue remains where the foot was (more recently?) rejoined. Surface scratched and stained a dark orange (perhaps intentionally); dent just above foot.
TEMP.2003.7.42 Single fragment, quite worn and indented on one side, perhaps where a handle attached. Surface very badly scratched. Black deposit in one corner (thickly applied black glaze?)
TEMP.2003.7.64 Scratches on rim. Black gloss and white paint very worn. Chipped patch where handle would have been, has glue on it. Perhaps the handle was once stuck back on and has been broken off again. Underside of fragment covered in white deposits.
