    Description

    This mortar and pestle set are made of brass.  The holder is inscribed ANGKLUNG on one side and KOTAGEDE  on the other side.  It has two pestles.  The smaller pestle does not come out smoothly (maybe not original piece), but it does come out and goes back in.  Bigger pestle comes out fine.  The holder stands on small legs.  The engraving are possibly flowers (poppies?) and curly engravings. The mortars are differently engraved from each other and the holder.  It is a total of 5 pieces.  The holder stands about 5" tall, 3 1/2" long, and about 1/2" wide.  I tried to get all the angels and close up shots to truly see how neat this piece is.
    Overall, it is a really great conversation piece.
