2002.9.4 Intact and complete; wood is slightly stained and sticky (from previous adhesive) at the right side of the crossbar; the ‘leather’ drum is brittle, as are the strings, which are loose; the velvet fillet is in dissaray, with some torn stitches.
2008.7.130 Dirty and badly scratched. Piece of wood stuck through the handle-possibly there when made, but unclear. In at an angle, where fragment is broken the hole is smaller.
E.23.3 Intact, although figures likely from other boat models. The paint on all figures has degraded and does not merit individual description. Detail is missing from the bow and stern of the boat where the wood has degraded so much. There is also fissures in the wood of the deck of the boat.
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.62.10 Intact if fragmentary, the wood is somewhat degraded and there are three large chips, two at the top and one running along the side of the main body. It is clear from the state of the state of the foot that it has been snapped off a larger object.
E.62.11 Intact if fragmentary, the wood is in good condition although there are some deep grains in the wood.
E.62.48 Intact if only a fragment. The glyphs are still very clear, except one of the right hand side, the fourt glyph down, that has been rubbed away. There is also a white deposit at the bottom of the object on the right. Overall there has been very little degredation of the wood.
E.62.49 Intact but not complete. The top right quater of the painted scene is gone. The wood is not particularly degraded and the actual remaining inscription is well preserved and quite clear.
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.62.52 Intact. There are chips all over the object, some that just remove paint others that take some wood as well, particularly on the the left side of the beetle its self. There is a large white deposit on the right wing whcih has collected where some paint has chipped away.
E.62.53 Intact, but missing what is stated above. There is some degredation of the wood and alot of the detail is missing. There are holes on the head and base where extra detail has disapperared.
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.
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:1951.159.1 Mouth missing, broken off at the top of the neck, where the joins to handles and body are cracked and scratched. The lower part of the amphora has been restored, using wood (for the foot) and plaster (still visible on the interior and around the joint between handles and neck). Some pitting on body, surface abrasion on stem.Parts of original base in 4.2.7
