BRONZE MORTAR WITH MASKS, 16TH-17TH CENTURIES.

Bronze mortar with plant motifs and masks. 16th-17th centuries. Mortar with a cylindrical body with a mouth open towards the outside and a prominent lower molding that presents a decoration based on ribs with plant motifs interspersed with relief masks. These types of works were created for use in apothecaries or important houses. The rib motif is used in Gothic examples, and here it has been transformed to suit more classicist tastes, common in the Renaissance and Baroque.
