“You cannot separate fools from their foolishness, even though you grind them like grain with mortar and pestle.” (Proverbs 27:22)
The mortar and pestle is considered one of the oldest tools for preparing food known to mankind. Examples found in Southwest Asia date back to approximately 35,000 BC. In Herod’s Temple, the sacred incense was pounded in mortars made of gold.
This small copper set brings that long history into your kitchen. Use it for spices and herbs, or keep it on display as a conversation piece and a teaching aid for lessons on daily life in biblical times.
