Mortar with inscriptions. Bronze. Spain, 1823. Mortar made of bronze with an exvased mouth and a troconical body developed without discontinuity and with a decrease in diameter up to the base; It has two handles or "pieces" towards the smooth decorative moldings on the top. The piece presents, almost on the edge, an inscription (I AM FROM D GREGORIO OCANA ANO DE 1823) in capital letters and date in Romans with spaces between them; and the text (reversed than the other) "Mazon fecci"; both flanked by a simple molding above and another below. This large mortar is of the type that is usually known as "hospital" because it is commonly used for medicines in environments with many patients or in important apothecaries. Typologically, it follows the usual line in these examples of the Spanish school during the 19th century: smooth, with moldings and, as a general rule, without those ribs (or derivatives thereof) that used to appear in the previous ones. Compare, for example, with the large pharmacy mortar in the Museo-Archivo Municipal de Calella (with inscription, ribs and human heads as handles), a large pestle in the Museo de la Farmacia Hispana at the Complutense University of Madrid, etc
