Description: | Unidentified and undated complete cast copper-alloy implement or tool probably of post-Medieval to early Modern date. The item is solidly cast with a globular head at one end and then a circular-sectioned shaft which tapers steeply upwards and outwards to form a probable handle. The item is reminiscent of a pestle from a pestle and mortar set, in which case it is possible that either end may have formed the grinding end. Broadly dated AD c.1500-1900 pending a more closely dated parallel.
