They could also be found in apothecaries, where pharmacists would use the pestle to crush herbs into medicinal powders. Adding a touch of intrigue to this particular mortar is the large inscription above the base that reads “PE AMET”. The bronze has a golden-brown hue, as does the accompanying pestle, which has a protruding ring in the center. Our French bronze mortar and pestle would make a wonderful decorative bowl in the kitchen, bar area, or living room. See less
