BRONZE MORTAR. 17TH CENTURY.

Mortar. Patinated bronze. XVII century. Patinated bronze mortar with a vented mouth, a throne-like conical body and a base enhanced with moldings that have a decoration of facing balusters. These balusters in relief reflect a clear influence of baroque models (heir, in turn, to the medieval ribs).
