Tuscan workshop

"Mortar", late 16th/early 17th century. Bronze, cm 39 × 36, signed with the initials "LO"

Object composed of two distinct elements: the upper part (29 cm high and variously molded with thin grooves) concentrically leans on a base decorated with seraphim Angels. Considering the relatively important dimensions and the particular type of ornamental symbolism, it is likely that the artifact was intended for a conventual or religious pharmacy
