Title |
Mortar |
||
Description |
English: A carved stone bowl, possibly a mortar used for grinding food, of uncertain date. The stone is irregularly shaped; sub D shaped in plan, and the bowl is circular.
Mortars or "creeing troughs" would have been used with a pestle for removing the husks from grain before cooking. Post Medieval examples often have distinctive shapes such as WILT-84FE96. Some examples can be seen in situ in the kitchens of historic houses. In the Yorkshire Pennines, such mortars were frequently highly decorated and individualised. An example is SWYOR-052CE2. Plain examples like the one recorded here are much harder to date. Parallels include LANCUM-F97686 and NCL-33B4C1 which could be Roman to Post Medieval. It is also possible that the bowl had a different function; perhaps as a lamp, a plague bowl or since it is from near a church, a piscina or stoop. However, the domestic function is most likely as all large houses would have had a mortar. |
