Description: | A cast copper alloy cosmetic mortar. The mortar is slender, 'V'-shaped in cross-section and has an integral end loop on the underside. The mortar has a solid knop terminal.
The 'V'-shaped channel down the centre of the mortar is filled with iron corrosion, perhaps evidence of an iron pestle being deposited with the mortar.
A survey of cosmetic sets shows that end looped cosmetic mortars are the most common type in Lincolnshire (Worrell, 2007, p.348, tab. 34). | Subjects: | End loop | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
