Essential item for any display of Roman everyday life. Tersorium (sponge on a stick) for use in the communal latrine!
Ours are made with peeled hazel sticks, natural sea sponges (from a supplier who takes care to harvest as sustainably as possible) and bound with linen thread. Typical length between 12 and 16 inches, though as these are made to order sizes will vary slightly. NB: Picture shows multiple items, listing is for single objects.
Made to order. The way our order book is currently working, we open the shop approximately once a month for new commissions and shut it again once we have as many orders as we think we can realistically make over the next 6 weeks or so. Please be aware that your order may fall anywhere into that timescale. We'll always aim to be as prompt as we can.

We are sorry to have to announce that Gareth died on Friday 26 March 2021 after being diagnosed with cancer in the autumn of 2020.
Sally had surgery for breast cancer on 30 March and is also currently doing an MSc in Experimental Archaeology, so between healing and university is currently working a bit more slowly than usual. Thank you for your patience and support!
