Description: | Cast copper alloy Romano-British cosmetic mortar. The mortar is 'boat-shaped', being 'V'-shaped in cross-section and elongated. There is an integral loop at one end. The external walls are decorated with a deep groove running beneath the rim and also just above the base on either side. The interior is smooth and has a light brown patination, which is distinctly different to the darker brown-red patination on the exterior. The mortar is damaged and is now buckled in the centre. The broken area around it is well patinated and corroded. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
