BRONZE MORTAR. 17TH CENTURY.

Mortar with ribs. Bronze. XVII century. Bronze mortar from the Baroque period, with an inverted bell-shaped structure with a slightly open base and a mouth that is also exvased, but to a greater extent than the base. It is decorated with a composition that would derive from the Gothic ribs, leaving some vertical bars reminiscent of columns and alternate with relief masks. It was probably used in an apothecary to grind the ingredients of the medicines of the time or in some important house, given its decoration.
