Description
Bronze mortar and pestle. Spanish School. 17th century. A bell-shaped bronze mortar and pestle, with a surface decorated with geometric and star-shaped reliefs. The solidity of the body is enhanced by lateral ribs and ornamental knobs on the top. Paired with its original mortar and pestle, the piece strikes a balance between functionality and aesthetics. This type of mortar is typical of 17th-century domestic or pharmaceutical equipment, notable for its strength and weight, but also for its sculptural design. This object bears witness to the material culture of early modern Europe. Dimensions: 12 x 16 x 16 cm.
