Description

As stated, I found this mortar and pestle and en estate sale.  I believe it to be brass.  There is a design of a man with a staff going around the whole mortar.  It seems to be hand carved because There is a lot of uneveness in the pestle.  Unfortunately there aren't any names or anything on it to tell me more about it.  If anyone could help me discover the origins and value of this piece I would greatly apreciate it.
