Description: | A cast copper-alloy cosmetic pestle from a crescentic mortar and pestle set of the Roman period, c. 100-300.The pestle is incomplete, missing its endloop. In section, the pestle is circular, and in profile it is crescentic, with one end thicker and slightly rounder than its opposite, thinner and longer end. It is this thinner and longer end where there appears to be an abraded break, probably from the missing endloop.
