11.10.21 Comprised of rejoined fragments, restored where fragments were missing (e.g. in handle zones) and slightly repainted. Blaze is not shiny on the interior and exterior. On the lower part of the body and the foot it is fired brownish. Parts of the clay have been scratched away om the lower part of the body and the exterior of the foot leaving an uneven surface. Small chips on the body.

2005.7.17 Fragment. Poor. Decorated braid severely eroded and has spaces where previously there were probably wool (?) tapestry areas. A red-brown substance (dried body fluids?) adheres to the fragment.
22.3.27 If there were handles then they are both missing along with the whole of one side and parts of other side of body missing. Small section of rim remains.
23.11.31I Chipped in many places, but the remains indicate where the helmet, face, and spear once were.

Exterior surface design is in remarkably good condition considering the damage done to the interior surface. Stem remains but the foot is completely missing.
