Description: | An incomplete medieval/post-medieval cast copper alloy pestle, with the upper part of the round-sectioned handle missing. The lower part expands into a sub-conical terminal with a slightly convex grinding face. Decoration consists of one pair of encircling grooves around the handle and one around the terminal, and of a cordon just above the springing of the terminal. The surviving length is 71.5mm with a diameter of 14-32mm. It weighs 145g. It is similar to an example from Warfield, Berks (PAS SUR-999A74). No other parallel has been noted. The decoration is similar to that seen on candlesticks of the 15th-16th century.
