Stirrup spout effigy blackware bottle in the form of a seated human figure. The figure is holding an object in each hand below the chin and is wearing a headdress that consists of a head band with a monkey head at the centre front with a semi-circular vertical ornament. The stirrup spout is attached at the back of the figure's head and lower back, and a single vertical cylindrical spout extends up from the top of the stirrup's curve. The figure's garment has bands of circular depressions, possibly excised for inlays that are no longer attached. The headdress ornament and spout are missing and have been reconstructed with what looks like a plaster compound. The spout has been painted black to match the bottle, and the ornament has been left unpainted, a beige colour with a light brown centre and a band of smaller light brown circles around the edge of the ornament. There is a small piece missing from below the figure's right hand.

Model buffware bowl with flared rim, scalloped lip and ring base. The surface is rough and pitted, and there is a large chip on the edge of the base.

A cylindrical spout extends out at an angle from the top of stirrup handle at the point which it starts to curve downward. The figure kneels on one knee and holds a square shield in the opposite hand and a ring mace in the other. The figure is wearing a headdress with a monkey head in the centre front, above which is a tall plumage-like decoration. There are discs on either side of the headdress with excised depressions painted a red-orange. There are excised depressions (painted red-orange) on the decoration, the perimeter of the shield, and on the tunic-like garment the figure is depicted as wearing. There are break repairs and small missing pieces at the base of the headdress, around the hand holding the mace, at both points of contact with the handle, as well as where the plumage of the headdress meets the discs. Vessel is decorated using cream and red slips.
