18th-century French Bronze Mortar And Pestle
A small mortar and its pestle...
Made of cast bronze...
With a patina from age...
Shows signs of use...
With oxidation on the inside...
The bottom has become misshapen from being pounded so much...
The pestle has a more pronounced patina on one side...
Is that its own...?
I think so...!
I got them together....!
Otherwise, the body of the mortar is very simple...
Thick ridges...
And lines that accentuate the object...
The model is quite small...
With a lovely resonance when struck...!
Even with the warping on the bottom, it holds together...
From the early 18th century...
Maybe even a little older...!
