Reference: ZF1242
Iron pharmacy mortar. 18th-19th centuries. An old cast iron mortar for pharmaceutical use. It follows the usual structure for this type of utensil between the 15th and 19th centuries, with a truncated cone-shaped body with very thick walls that has vertical ribs and perpendicular protruding handles to facilitate gripping during use. In this case it shows eight polylobed ribs and two large handles with ends in the shape of a child's head, indicating that it would be a piece from the Baroque period or later, probably from the 18th or 19th centuries.
