Abstract
During the data collation for my PhD research, which focuses on how animals and humans are recognised, assessed and analysed in La Tène art in England and Wales (c. 400BC onwards), a cosmetic mortar on the Portable Antiquities Scheme website emerged which had previously been identified as a vessel handle (Portable Antiquities Scheme 2014). BH-FC0145 (Fig. 1) highlights two particular issues: the relationship between late La Tène art and the cosmetic mortar artefact class and the identification of intentionally figurative forms in a famously abstract art style.
