About the Item

An impressive antique mortar, hand-carved from a single block of solid stone, with a cylindrical shape and sturdy vertical buttresses that reinforce its structure. Its deep cavity reveals its original use for grinding grains, herbs, and spices, both in domestic and communal contexts. The surface retains a natural patina with wear and tear, reflecting centuries of use. These pieces, with their great solidity and sculptural presence, are now valued not only as ethnographic utensils, but also as decorative elements, rustic planters, and architectural pieces.
