About This Object

A large antique Indonesian mortar, hand carved from solid wood and originally used for pounding and processing grains, spices and other foodstuffs.
The mortar has a broad flared bowl raised on a narrower circular base, with carving marks and irregularities visible throughout. The timber has developed a deep reddish-brown surface from age and repeated use.
There are several old splits around the rim, including one larger open split, alongside knocks, scratches and general surface wear. These are consistent with its history as a working object and are clearly shown in the photographs. The mortar remains stable.

Each piece in our collection is an authentic antique, vintage or handcrafted find. Natural patinas, surface wear, and historic imperfections are not flaws; they are part of the history and soul of the object.
We believe these unique markings are essential to their architectural presence and should be expected as part of their story.
