This mortar with a heavily worn, repeating design around the middle is probably one of the “Four Assorted Italian Bronze and Brass Motars [sic]” that Duveen Brothers removed from the apartment of Mrs. Albert E. Goodhart, Robert Lehman’s aunt, after her death in 1952. It is a nineteenth-century aftercast after an old, worn original.
