Description: | Roman cosmetic mortar of end-looped variety, fragment thereof. The fragment derives from one end of the object and possesses a closed loop of 12mm diameter, the metal being of 1.5mm lateral thickness and tapering from 4mm thickness near the end of the mortar to just over 1mm thickness at the point where the recurve of the loop rejoins the carinated underside of the mortar itself. The object's surviving length of 34mm includes a length of the channelled mortar of 25mm, expanding from 5mm breadth near the end where the channel disappears to just over 6mm at the broken point. In profile the metal has a sharply carinated V-shape of 7mm height. | 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: | -100
