BRONZE MORTAR WITH INSCRIPTION. SPAIN, 1846.

Mortar with inscription. Bronze. Spain, 1846. A bronze mortar with an everted mouth and a truncated conical body that tapers continuously to the base. The piece bears an inscription (“soi de don Gregorio goia ano 1846”) in capital letters with spaces between them, and two areas with lines flanking the text at the top and bottom, referring to the owner of the mortar and the year it was made. Compare, for example, with the large pharmacy mortar in the Calella Municipal Museum-Archive (with an inscription, ribs, and human heads as handles), a large mortar in the Museum of Hispanic Pharmacy at the Complutense University of Madrid, etc.
