Yard Sale Find

This looks to be an aztec bowl and pedestal that my brother picked up at a yard sale for $10.00.

If I'm not mistaken those are novlety tourist items you can pick up in Mexico. I have seen quite a few of those at shows, flea markets, and yard sales for anywhere from $10 to $100. They are cool, but I don't believe they are old.

I agree, doesn't show any wear from use on the inside of the mortar or the end of the pestle. Still a cool decorative item.
