gift from a friend
Dear Domagoj,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a Roman mortar with measurements of 25 x 18 cm. Such mortars are dated from the 1st to the 3rd century AD. It was probably made out of Italian Marble and comes with two thumb-formed pestles
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 400 to 800 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
