Object type: MORTAR (VESSEL)
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment from the rim of a cast and turned leaded copper alloy vessel, most probably dating to the Medieval period. Given the thickness and the weight of the fragment it is most likely to be from a small domestic mortar like vessel. None of the surfaces are decorated but all have several scratches and abrasions. Given the small size of the fragment an estimate of vessel size is not possible - however it is likely to be fairly large (having a diameter in excess of 20cm) The fragmnent measures: 7.86mm thick, 64.28mm in length, 23.59mm in width and weigh 43.2 grams

Object type: MORTAR (VESSEL)
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Carved stone mortar of probable later medieval or post medieval date (1400- 1700 AD). The mortar is broadly circular in plan and sub-rectangular in profile. It measures 330mm width at the top (390mm across the lugs) and 165mm at the base, is 185mm high and weighs 5.2 Kilograms (5200 grams). The mortar itself has been carved from a single block of marble stone. The outer face of the mortar has a large number of small angular dish shaped peck marks present. These are most evident on the outer edge. However, the inside is relatively smooth and polished. This polishing may have been du…

A complete late medieval mortar carved from coarse Devonian sandstone dating from the later medieval or early post medieval periods (c. 1350 - 1600 AD). The mortar is broadly circular in plan and sub-rectangular in profile. The mortar itself has been carved from a single block of stone. The base of the mortar is smooth and relatively flat. The rim is complete and there is no evidence of a runnel or similar pouring spout. Around the upper edge of the mortar are four lobed projections. These are set at broadly 90° to each other. From above these form a relatively simple clover leafed s…
