Incredible relic. We present this ancient mortar and pestle, dated to the early decades of the 1900s. Produced in gold-plated bronze by lost-wax casting, with incredible patina and excellent condition of the interior. It features decorations of grotesques and festoons (anthropomorphic or satirical heads) in repoussé and in bas-relief, and handles with human heads. A precious furnishing item, a piece for a major collection.
