Description: | A complete copper-alloy centre-looped cosmetic pestle of Late Iron Age to Roman date. The rod is crescentic, tapers to a rounded point at either terminal and is D-shaped in secion. There is a large central loop projecting from its centre. The vertical loop has an oval sectioned neck and a circular loop with corroded iron within it.
The pestle is 32mm long, 6.81mm wide at its widest central point, 6.52mm thick and 21.95mm in height if the central loop is included. Most of the original patina of this pestle survives and is dark brown in colour. There are also small patches of active pale powdery green corrosion. | Subjects: | Centre-looped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
