- Hollowed molded fragment of reddish-brown clay (MUNS 5 YR 5/4) from a single mold. The reverse side has been handmade. The piece was retouched and painted red. There is crude workmanship throughout and the clay is Delta quality. It was poorly laevigated and chip and straw impressions are visible in the clay. The walls are heavy and there are traces of plaster. There is a circular vent in the back which opens on the underside. The is also a green substance which might be painted plaster, evidently modern, on the base. Overall the piece is in good condition. The fragment represents an obese phallic man bearing a load in his left arm and standing bandy-legged with feet apart on a low base. The head is tilted to the left and there is a short garment over the abdomen.

This fragment was sewn on with warp at right angles to fragments A and B.; The fragments were sewn together with linen yarn. There is a length of this linen yarn caught by the stitches along one edge of a piece of fragment C. Two narrow corners (fragments A and B) were tied together in a square knot (knotted end). One of these corners has dyed bands in different shades of green/blue and purple but without the two pick yellow divider.; Rainbow style shaded stripes.

- Notes:
- Very large brown/black woven goat hair bag. This is an almost complete, although damaged and deteriorated, bag. The piece of fabric was folded, weft-wise and sewn along each warp-wise edge with coarse linen yarn. Repairs of the side seams have been made with palm fiber and with coarse wool yarn. Single rib selvedges are present along both sides. The top is open. One edge of the woven fabric was finished by folding and sewing. The other edge has an interlocking looped border. There are thick goat hair loops added to each corner of the open edge. A long piece of palm fiber rope has been tied to one loop. This rope consists of two 2-ply cords that have been twisted against each other. There are five yellow bands near the center of the fabric. Four of the bands consist of two picks of yellow, two picks of black, two picks of yellow. One band has a third section of two picks of yellow. There are badly damaged remnants of supplementary weft (or weft-wrapping) diamonds between two of the yellow bands. These bands and diamonds appear only on one side of the bag. There is also a small amount of red in the pattern.

- Notes:
- Fragment of a tapestry rectangle with paired linen warps, blue/black wool and undyed linen wefts and linen weft-wrapping. A very small piece of undyed linen fabric was sewn on at one corner. The weft-wrapping is very deteriorated and the fragment is very dirty and worn so details are difficult to discern. The central motif may be a human figure with arches above and below, in a small rectangle. Surrounding this central rectangle are floral or leaf motifs in wool on a linen ground. A blue/black wool border around the outside encloses the tapestry. The wefts along the two warp-wise edges encircle the warps and there are a few small remnants of linen, possibly dove-tailing. There are linen stitches along one warp-wise and one weft-wise edge, also.
