IRON APOTHECARY MORTAR. 18TH-19TH CENTURIES.

Iron pharmacy mortar. 18th-19th centuries. Antique mortar used in pharmaceuticals, made of cast iron. It follows the typical structure for this type of utensil between the 15th and 19th centuries, with a truncated conical body with very thick walls, vertical ribs, and perpendicular protruding handles to facilitate gripping during use. In this case, it displays eight polylobed ribs and two large handles with finials in the shape of a child's head, indicating that it is a piece from the Baroque period or later, probably from the 18th or 19th centuries.
