The tip of this end-looped pestle is plain and the stem straight with a circular cross-section. The loop is flat at each side and has a circular perforation forming the loop with a diameter of 6.6mm. No similar shaped examples have been found for this item so it has been given a very broad possible date range, as it could have another funtion.The object is 42.4mm long, 6.1mm diameter and weighs 7.69 grams.
