There are 9 objects for which Decoration contains → artefact
2003.8.66 Rim of an open vessel, two grooves and rounded, overlapping body. Entire artefact is overall the same shade of grey.
22.3.36 The exterior possesses several images of what appear to be flower like decorations, consisting of a large white spot with eight slightly smaller white dots scattered around them. These flowers are in alignment and stretch across the middle section of the object. Beneath these flowers are a series of smaller dots that form a line stretching from one side of the artefact to the other. The interior of the object possesses countless lines connecting one part of the pot to the other, and vary in shades of brown.
22.3.37 Around the middle there is a painting of what appears to be a sort of vine, with numerous flowers pods protruding out of it, and several other flowers that have blossomed. At the bottom there is a small part of what appears to be from a larger pattern upon the original artefact. The exterior of object in which the paintings are upon is itself painted black.
22.3.38 On the outside are several patterns, likely painted on as part of a larger decoration upon the original artefact as a complete object. The inside has a single large, slightly curved light orange line; again, potentially part of a larger pattern on the interior of the artefact.
83.2.3 No apparent decoration upon the artefact.
E.62.11 Carved piece from open work rail of furniture, representing the hes vase. The top of the artefact has a carved peg on it while the foot has a lip carve in it, clearly these were used to attatch the artefact to a larger body, there is no pigment.
E.62.4 A small limestone tablet with the image of a monkey holding its young. It is square in shape although this appears to because the adult monkey's head has been removed. There is a hole in the centre at the top of the artefact presumably so it could be hung up. The adult monkey is bending it's knees to reduce its height which also gives the idea of closeness between the two creatures. The underside of the artefact has the same image only in reverse and with less detail. There is red pigment remaining on both sides around the feet particularly.
REDMG:1964.1638 Artefact is completely grey in colour with no decoration.
TEMP.2003.7.74 Inside is dark grey coloured, whereas outside is more light orange coloured. Upper part of outside appears to have a black line across the top that has been worn away over time. The middle section has a thicker brown line which likely went around the entirety of the original artefact. Lower part of object is dark grey, again likely part of a larger coloured section of the origional, complete object.
