Carved from a unique conglomerate marble, the surface showcases an intricate mosaic of natural stone fragments in deep grays, browns, and creams, unified by a complex network of veining. The cylindrical body features a recessed center worn from use, highlighting its historical function in culinary or apothecary settings.
