Description from the seller
Solid Bronze Apothecary Set: Neo-Renaissance Mortar & Pestle and Rare 'Three Hares' Symbolic Tray
Overview:
A premium 3-piece collector's set crafted entirely from solid cast bronze. This set features a classic apothecary mortar with its matching pestle and a highly symbolic decorative tray (vide-poche). The heavy weight and rich patina of the bronze make this a high-quality decorative and collectible ensemble.
Item 1: Solid Bronze Apothecary Mortar & Pestle
Material: Heavy, solid cast bronze with a deep, natural golden-brown patina.
Style: Neo-Renaissance design.
Features: The mortar is decorated with horizontal ribbing and ornate classical relief friezes. It is equipped with two sturdy integrated handles. The solid bronze pestle is perfectly balanced for a comfortable grip.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The bronze shows a beautiful aged character with no structural damage.
Item 2: 'Three Hares' Symbolic Bronze Tray (Vide-Poche)
Material: Solid patinated bronze.
The Motif: Features the ancient and mystical "Three Hares" (Trimurti of Hares) symbol. This ingenious optical puzzle shows three hares chasing each other in a circle; they share ears so that each appears to have two, although only three are actually depicted.
Significance: A rare find for collectors of Celtic, Christian, or Medieval symbolism. Often associated with the Trinity, the lunar cycle, and ancient European mysticism.
Usage: Ideal as a high-end pocket emptier, pin tray, or display piece for a cabinet of curiosities.

Total Pieces: 3 (Mortar, Pestle, Tray).
