Roman pottery mortarium

Rim flat, acute-angled and reeded; on opposite sides of it are small rudimentary lugs, formed by attaching a strip of clay to the edge of the rim after the vessel has been formed on the wheel. Spout shallow, scooped out with a knife or the like. There is a shallow external step or offset below the rim, and the footiring though shallow is well marked. A little more than half the vessel is represented, and each of the three large fragments bears a single bore-hole well within the line of fracture, indicating that the vessel had been mended with rivetss of lead or other metal.
