Mortars and Pestles

Elizabeth Moutal

National Gallery of Art

The image shows four wooden mortars and pestles, each distinct in design and color. The color palette includes red, dark brown, light brown, and green tones with hints of natural wood. Arranged sequentially, the first mortar is red with a darker wooden pestle, the second is dark brown with a matching pestle, the third is light brown with a corresponding pestle, and the last is green with a matching pestle. The objects are placed in a line against a neutral background.
