DETAILS
This rather large, patinated bronze mortar was crafted with double handles in the style of the 17th century. It features frescoes of human figures in concentric borders. It makes an impressive addition for a collector of mortars, but is also handsome as a decorative accessory. Note: an early, antique 19th century model of a 17th century mortar.
