The bulbous mortar body is decorated with a band of hand-engraved rectangular panels featuring stylised bird and foliate motifs, with further scrolling engraved decoration above and below — consistent with Middle Eastern or South Asian brasswork of the 19th\/early 20th century. The mortar measures 4.5cm high and 5.5cm wide at its widest point, with a matching turned brass pestle 8.2cm long. Warm aged brass patina throughout, with the expected small dents, scratches and tarnishing of a well-used piece — a lovely tactile curio for a collector of scientific antiques, apothecary items, or decorative brassware.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goosey Goosey Gander","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48614500958420,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/5526\/9844\/files\/D8BAE9D1-CCC6-400F-95C5-4C287396B8AF.jpg?v=1788491554","url":"https:\/\/gooseygooseygander.com.au\/products\/antique-small-brass-pharmacy-apothecary-mortar-and-pestle","provider":"Goosey Goosey Gander","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
