AFRICAN MORTAR.
DAN ETHNIA (REPUBLIC OF IVORY COAST). S. XIX.

Interesting wood mortar with abundant marks of use and a pretty patina.
The African sculpture and its magical spirituality shows its maximum expression in this mortar that, despite being a widget of everyday use, denotes the spirit of the Great Goddess, because it is a mortar that feeds with the its flour the family and the tribe, that’s why it has been decorated with some big breasts.
