Description: | A fragmentary cast copper-alloy Late Iron Age to Roman mortar pestle belonging to a two-piece cosmetic grinder set, dating to the 1st or 2nd century AD. The grinder retains one cast ring on one side, with a thin moulded collar separating it from the remains of the blade. The blade strongly tapers away from the ring and is extremely worn around the edges.An article by Ralph Jackson discusses the typology, function, distribution and dating of Iron Age and Roman cosmetic mortar and pestles (Jackson 1985: 165-192). See article by Smith in the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries, 2nd series xxx. (1918), 54-63.
