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 reflects 17th-century domestic or pharmaceutical equipment, notable for its strength and weight, but also for its sculptural design. This object is a testament to the material culture of early modern Europe. Dimensions: 12 x 16 x 16 cm. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer's statutory rights.
