Description: | A copper-alloy centre-looped cosmetic mortar of Late Iron Age to early Roman date. The object has a shallow groove which extends almost the entire length of the upper surface. The suspension loop, which is located at the centre of the underside, is incomplete.
The piece measures 52.8mm long, 6.7mm thick and 16.8mm high. The weight is 15g.
At present, there is no reliable typological sequence for the development of this category of artefact but most appear to belong to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD (R. Jackson; 1985; pp. 175). | Subjects: | Centre-looped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Laakso, Laura | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
