Description
Set of three tobacco mortars Made of wood, horn, bone, brass and pewter. The first model, made of boxwood and shaped like a truncated cone, is decorated with two circular horn inlays and pewter inlays forming decorative friezes. The pestle, decorated with a bone inlay at the top, is finished with a serrated metal band. The second model, with a truncated cone-shaped body, is decorated with inlaid pewter motifs forming decorative friezes, one of which consists of crosses. The pestle, which was certainly altered at some point in the past, is topped with a highly stylised face. And the last one, with a straight body, is adorned with tin inlays forming decorative friezes. Pestle with a top adorned with a sort of cap and metal fittings. The pestle has certainly been replaced. Auvergne, 19th century H. 7.5 cm, 9.8 and 11.3 cm Minor damage and losses
