Description: | A cast copper-alloy cosmetic mortar of late Iron Age to the early Roman period.
The mortar is incomplete, lacking both terminals so a specific type cannot be given. Otherwise the mortar can be described as U-shaped in section and pointed-oval-shaped in plan.
The outer faces bear some decoration, which was probably symmetrical but now obscured due to corrosion. The better preserved face has an inscribed crescent along the length of the mortar with two stretched U-shaped separated by a fan shape. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
