About the Item

Flemish mortar. Bronze. XVII century. Features brand. Mortar with a circular base with a mouth that extends outward from the two upper stripes and a body with slight entasis and a relief decoration of figurative motifs. In addition to a series of moldings in its external area, you can see two male protomes (heads with mustaches and non-human features) and a band with different elements in the lower part (roles, leaves, quadruped monsters). Note, also, a kind of circular “seal” (or so it seems), with letters (HLB / RA/TE) around a banner flanked by plant elements and placed on three oval objects. Compare the present example with those by P. van den Ghein from the Royal Carillon School “Jef Denyn” Museum in Mechelen (despite being earlier), a 17th century example from the Pharmacy Museum in Berlin (Germany), another in the Museum of the Pharmacy of the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain), etc. Weight: 4.6kg. · Size: 17x17x14 cm International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.
