Description: | Fragment of a Medieval Purbeck stone mortar. The surviving part consisting of the base and part of the side. It is about 240mm in length and 84mm high. The diameter at the base would have been 226mm when complete. The base is slightly recessed at the junction with the sides, the sides flare outwards. Although incomplete, evidence remains for four equally spaced external columns. The bottom of the columns are about 30mm from the base of the mortar and the columns would have been wider at the top of the vessel. There are light tooling marks over all the external surfaces. On the sides of the vessel the tooling is at an oblique angle to the vertical. The inner surface of the mortar is smooth through use except where it has been damaged. The breaks appear to be recent. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1066
