Description
Bronze mortar and pestle. Spanish School. 17th century Cast bronze. Dimensions: 8 x 13 x 13 cm. A thick-walled mortar decorated in relief with stylised figures and plant motifs, accompanied by a cylindrical pestle. The dark patina on the surface bears evidence of prolonged use and the natural wear and tear of time. The robust craftsmanship and ornamental design are characteristic of the utilitarian production of the 17th century, when such objects combined domestic functionality with an aesthetic style linked to the artisanal tradition of Castilian bronze work.
