Description: | Lower part of a cast cu-alloy cosmetic mortar dating from the late Iron Age or early Roman period. The recepticle is complete and displays a smooth dark green patina. It is slightly curved with a hollow on the inside to grind the cosmetic paste in. One side is pointy, the other terminates in a sturdy loop for suspension. It would have been used with a curved grinder or crescent-moon-shaped pestle. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
