Mortar And Pestle

An instrument that's remained largely unchanged since the earliest humanoid tool makers, the mortar and pestle remains a staple of the well-stocked kitchen. This example, in creamy porcelain, is a shade more refined than cave tools, perhaps, but works no less effectively to turn seeds to powders, and pods and roots to pastes. The mortar cavity is 5 inches in diameter, perfect for medium-sized jobs.
