Description

Five complete clay rubbers

smoothened from being used as a tool on surfaces. Smooth on the surfaces and all shaped as discs; the one from A. Ext.2 P^16(78) has a pink/orange colour on one side

and on the other side three quarters of it is covered by clear red slip/varnish

the top part being the same pink/orange colour; both surfaces are smooth. The rubber from RR/60/159 is shaped like a disc

and has red-coloured clay on one side

and grey colour on the other

potentially due to slip; it has three grooves on one side

made of an unnatural grey colour. RR/60/367 is also shaped like a disc

made of grey clay with small pebbles and inclusion lodged inside the marble

and has a spiral pattern from black slip on the other side. RR/58/348 also has red varnish on one side

while RR/59/62 keeps its gray colour.
