E.23.35 Intact, one small chip in the lip and a slight dent near the neck. Otherwise the vase is still smooth to the touch.
E.23.36 Intact and complete, minor chips to lip, one crack shown on inner and outer although not major.
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.23.43.2 Intact and copmplete, there are several impurities in the glaze, most notably a long line of black substance that appears to be stuck to the bead as it very raised from the surface.
E.23.43.7 Intact, but there is a large chip missing from one of the ends. Also the glaze is highly worn leading to a rough surphace.
E.23.43.8 Intact, the glaze is worn in some ares leading to the blue colouring being partially worn away
E.23.43.9 Intact, the glaze has worn away leading to some loss of the blue colour.
E.23.46 Dents to surface and deposits inside what was once probably hollow. Some initial signs of deterioration around the hole in the centre.
E.23.47.1 Most of the beads have lost their original sheen and several of them have a brown deposit on them. Since there are very few details on any of the beads/amulets it is difficult to say if any have been lost. Several of the objects have lost some of their original colour but all remain intact and complete.
E.23.49.4 Intact although if there was a handle it is now gone. There appears to be some deposit on the non flat side.
E.47.1 Complete and intact but worn. Small amount of deposit especially around the decoration. The wick hole is blackened at the tip due to usage.
E.62.16 Intact and complete. Some of the black pigment has gone and several edges have slight scratches. The most significant damage is a scratch on the side with twelve dots that goes from one side in a straight line to the other.
E.62.17 Intact and complete. The details are still clear and there is no obvious damage to the artefact.
E.62.22 The gaps between some teeth have become adhered by deposits. Others have warped out of shape. There is black discolouration, perhpas due to damp, on one face of the comb. A part has broken from the side but is due to be repaired.
E.62.26 Intact, two large chips out of the lip next to each other. Small amounts of white deposit on the outside. There is also a small amount of wearing of the red pigment.
E.62.37 Intact and complete. There are several small chips around the rim. There appear to be several water marks on the inside of the bowl. The base and some parts of the body are covered in an encrusted light brown deposit.
E.62.38 Very large chip out of the lip, crack going from edge of that crack, to and along base and then back up the other side of the vase. Another crack joins this crack together along the shoulder. The crack can be seen on the inside of the pot.
E.62.39 Intact, but a large chip is missing from the lip, approximately one quarter missing. There is a crack going from one side to the other, starting and terminating at the shoulder, it goes around the base. Very little deposit.
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.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.62.5 Intact, with no apparent damage to surface.
E.62.51 Intact. On the underside the wood is apparently water damaged and there is some rotting at the end of the cobra where it presumably once joined to the larger object (crown). There is a large crack on the underside near the very top head of the cobra.
E.62.60 Intact. No major chips or dents (except one dent near the base which is a result of bad workmanship or is designed to allow the pot), very little deposit. The decoration is still very clear.
E.62.8 Intact and the surface remains smooth although discoloured to red, green, yellow, black, brown and orange. There is still lustre on the surface and the incised lines are still clear except for the two on the outer surface. Two small holes have formed in the folded over rim.
E.63.13C Single fragment. The blue glaze is well preserved, and there is very little visible damage to the surface although it is quite rough to the touch.
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.63.29 Intact. Several large chips on the lip, large amounts of light deposit, more prominant on base. Elongated verticle hole at widest point of body. Two smaller but shallower holes to the right of the larger. Blackened from use.
E.63.4 Intact and complete. Much of the glaze and colour has rubbed away particularly on the right side of the front. There is also some dark miscolouration at the top of the head-dress. Compared to it's partner the details of the face are much more vague.
E.65.10 Intact. Slight discolouration to bronze due to deterioration. Small surface scratches and deposits make surface appear slightly uneven although it feels smooth.
E.65.11 Intact. Small area of polished metal showing through on rectangular extension but not reflective. Major discolouration and deterioration to the surface of both sides. Small surface scratches. Does not sit flat so the object must be slightly bent.
E.65.12 Intact. Much chipping to edge and colour deterioration of surface but more round the edges than in the centre.
E.65.6 Intact, although clearly not complete even though it is unclear what it once belonged to. There is however little degridation of the wood.

L.2013.10.6 worn and discoloured surface, iconography unclear due to deposits on surface.
L.2013.10.7 Intact but deposits on the surface make seeing the iconography very difficult. Poor condition makes it impossible to see if there are any inscriptions. The coin edge is very uneven.
L.2016.3.10 Badly worn surface, so it's difficult to see any details of the features and hair. Light grey-yellowish deposits on the interior of the object as well as the handle and rim.
L.2016.3.25 The portrait head is worn, the reverse side seems to be better preserved. Not purged of deposits, so everything is just barely discernible.
