A pair of Mortar and Pestle

These rare mortars and pestles were used for grinding coffee, spices, herbs and grains. The wooden mortar is beautifully decorated in vertical lines and geometric patterns. They have wonderful dark brown patina and visible cracks, which are common features of antique wooden products that reflect their history and design. This piece was part of the collection of Bryan Reeves of Tribal Gathering London. Bryan Reeves is a renowned tribal art dealer, who is a participant in most of the International Tribal Art Fairs.
