Description from the seller

Bronze/ brass mortar, attributed to Toine Cavet, founder in Lyon and in the Saône valley between 1610 and 1660 - France. Five counterforts of a rare shape, called "crenelated", separate two busts of Pompey and three women in antique dress. Decorations recurring at Toine Cavet. Excellent condition, no cracks, no losses, and a beautiful dark patina. Pleasant in its proportions: 7 cm high, 10.2 cm in diameter, on a 6.5 cm base, this small mortar rings like a bell. Weight: 0.877 kg (1.93 pounds). From a private collection.
