Brass Mortar

No. 14 of 50 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeA brass mortar and pestle drawn many ways in black, alone, together and side by side, with one large mortar in orange halftone and black line set into a block of the grid.

Where it worksIn a dining room or a kitchen, beside the cups and pots it records.
