Bronze Mortar From The 17th Century
Bronze mortar, decorated with three crowned busts and three hearts surmounted by a tulip.
France, late 17th century.
Height: 10.5 cm
Diameter: 15.5 cm
The mortar, with its rare and original decoration, shows no cracks, just the traces of the mold used to cast it. The alloy used is a bronze very rich in lead (used in particular for casting bells), so this mortar rings formidably well and a long time.
