Achtergrondinformatie
This gigantic mortar was made in 1661 by the famous bell-founder from Amsterdam Francois Hemony. The circumscription runs ‘PHARMACOPOLA CANIT, DUM PULSOR AT INGEMIT AEGER’ : The pharmacist sings when I am pounded, but the patient moans. In those days, too, people often deemed the chemist’s bill too high.
