Description: | A copper alloy cosmetic end looped pestle with a smooth grey green patina. The elliptical circular sectioned rod swells towards the up-turned tip. The slender loop, in the form of a stylized bird's head with prominent brow and everted bill, has a large round eye. It dates from the late Iron Age to Roman period, but is more likely to be Roman. It is similar to the pestle in Jackson ( 2010), pp 72, No 10.
