A Rare Bronze Pestle & Mortar Dated 1589

17th century
Description

A most interesting and very early mediaeval BRONZE PESTLE & MORTAR dated 1589.

This rare example is certainly Continental, probably Italian, featuring a flared rim cast with the lettering: "AMOR+VINCIT+OMNIA" (Love Conquers All) followed by "ANNO + 1589". Around the lower half is a cast figural battle scene whilst to either side are twin handles. To find such an early and dated mortar is indeed rare ~ and possibly the earliest item we have stocked. 4.5ins high; 5.5ins wide at the top. (11.5x14cms )

***A pestle & mortar is an implement used to grind or crush ingredients for cooking or for pharmacy.
