AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Mortar and Pestle (Hand): On the left side, there is a large mortar accompanied by its pestle. Similar pieces in solid bronze are often dated to the 18th or 19th centuries, valued for their sturdiness and natural patina.
Container with Side Handles: On the right, one observes a shallow cup or pan with two circular handles. This type of bronze object was traditionally used to heat water or food over direct flame.
Miniatures/Cups: In the center, there are two smaller containers that may be miniature mortars or old measuring cups, common in historic apothecaries for preparing formulas.
Approximate overall dimensions: 12×12×8 cm – pestle 17 cm
