Mortar and pestle

This is no ordinary mortar and pestle - it is a rare 8 inches deep. Common mortar and pestle sets are normally half its depth or less. It is made of solid granite and about 60 to 70 years old.

Asking price: RM200

The mortar and pestle was used by villagers and tranditioanl housewives as a tool for pounding and grinding medicinal herbs, chilli pastes and a variety of other ingredients. It is still in use today, though their numbers are dwindling.
