Full Description
A stone mortar of, as yet, unidentified limestone was found at Long Bennington and presented to the City and County Museum. It is a simple type with two solid handles and two lugs, one of which is grooved for pouring. At some time subsequent to its manufacture the lugs have been carved to represent two simple faces. Decorated mortars are known from the 12th to the 14th centuries, but in the majority of cases the faces on these examples are part of the original design. The solid handles of the mortar date its manufacture to the late 13th or 14th century. {1}
