Description: | Slender end-looped cosmetic pestle made from copper alloy. The top of the circular loop continues the elegant curve of the pestle and the perforation below is filled with iron corrosion. The pestle is circular in cross-section, and increases in diameter down to its lowest point; here there is a curve on the upper surface but a more angled turn on the underside. It then tapers again to a point. The underside is perhaps a little flatter than the upper surface but there is no particular evidence of polishing or grinding on the surface. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
