14.9.119 Female head, appearing to wear sakkos, but now broken at back with a row of curls at the front.
47.2.27 Cylindrical figure of a warrior. Pointed helmet, moulded face with long beard. Arms across chest, right carries shield, may have also held a spear, although now damaged.
51.7.7 Sessile kantharos, traditionally thought to be an imitation of the 'Saint-Valentin' class of ceramics (Beazley 1947, 219), although Robinson 1997 now says that it is derived from a metallic prototype. Quite standard among its class (Xenon Group kantharoi) in shape (and decoration). Rounded outturned rim, below which are attached two vertical strap handles, rejoined at a slight ledge between upper body and lower body; upper body near cylindrical, whereas lower body is a deep bowl; low flaring ring-foot, ridged on the exterior, with concave face on the interior continuously curving through the resting surface.
REDMG:1953.25.103 Moulded female figurine with extended arms, wearing headdress. Flat, roughly worked back. Arm position suggests she may have been a singer, forming parts of a ring and is now broken from her base.
REDMG:1958.113.1 Ovoid aryballos, with a rounded mouth (now broken), small round vertical handle reaching from just below the mouth to the bottom of the high shoulder, which curves continuously into the body, with convex side walls, narrowing to a slightly flaring raised base, bossed on the underside.
