A nest of marble mortars & pestle


India, 20th century


SOLD 05.24

Mortars are an ancient culinary tool, described as indispensable to the preparation of food and medicines in texts like the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus, dating from 1550 BC, and the writings of the Roman poet Juvenal. 

With a silhouette mimicking that of a ship raised from the water, this nest of eye-shaped marble mortars are still in good working condition with their original pestle. A decorative and functional companion to one’s kitchen or shelves. The marble has some chipping and wear to the surface, all in line with the age.

Large: H7.5 W27 D16cm
Medium: H9 W26 D15cm
Small: H6 W21 D12cm
Pestle: H4 W11 D4cm
