A similar mortar was sold these rooms 12th Nov 2003, the collection of Robert Spalding. This example differs to the Spalding mortar and others in the Finlay article in being less squat in proportion. See Finlay, Michael, Some British Medieval Copper-Alloy Mortars, Journal of the Antique Metalware Society, vol 10, June 2002, p.22.et seq.
