Ancient Bronze approx. 3-5th Century A.D Early Brahmi Variation Caligraphy Mortar & Peshtal 15.00 lbs
A mortar and peshtal is a devise used since ancient times to prepare ingredients or substances by crushing and grinding them into a fine paste or powder. The mortar (/'m?rt?r/) is a bowl, typically made of hard wood, ceramic or stone. The pestle (/'p?s?l/) is a heavy and blunt club-shaped object, the end of which is used for crushing and grinding.
The Roman poet Juvenal applied both mortarium and pistillum to articles used in the preparation of drugs, reflecting the early use of the mortar and pestle as a pharmacist's or apothecary's symbol.[2]
The antiquity of these tools is well documented in early writing, such as the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus of ~1550 BCE
Scientists have found ancient mortars and pestles that date back to approximately 35,000 B.C
