Gothic mortar; Spain, 14th century.Carved stone.Measurements: 15.5 x 19.5 x 19.5 cm.Spanish Gothic mortar, made of carved stone in a square shape with a narrowing at the base (in the shape of a capital), decorated with carved geometric and vegetal decorations. This curious piece could be a Gothic capital converted into a mortar.This type of piece was created for use in apothecaries or in a kitchen. Similar examples are kept, for example, in the Museo de la Farmacia Hispana at the Complutense University of Madrid.Ancient recipe books contain a large number of recipes based on the use of the mortar, a tool which, although hardly used today, was so varied in its use in the past that every kitchen had a wide variety of them, from large ones for pounding meats and vegetables to smaller ones for grinding spices. Even in antiquity, large mortars existed. The Roman poet Juvenal mentioned it in articles for the preparation of drugs, reflecting the early use of this instrument in apothecaries. The antiquity of mortars is also well documented in some works of ancient literature, such as the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus, dating from 1550 BC, which is considered to be one of the oldest documents on medicine in Ancient Egypt. It is also mentioned in the Old Testament.
Gothic capital; Spain, 14th century.Carved stone.Wear and tear due to use and the passage of time.Measurements: 22 x 19 x 19 cm.Gothic capital of Corinthian order in carved stone of square shape with the sides in the upper part chamfered and with the circular base, decorated in relief with vegetable ornaments. The Gothic capital gradually lost its importance as the period of the style progressed. After the transitional period in which the Romanesque capital is followed, it takes the form of a somewhat conical drum embraced by foliage whose motifs are taken from the flora of the country and crowned by a circular or polygonal abacus with various mouldings.Subsequently, the capital becomes smaller and more delicate, and finally, it is eliminated when in the 15th century the bundle of reeds branches out directly into the ribs of the vault without any solution of continuity in many cases or remains in the form of a simple ring.
Gothic capital; Spain, 14th century.Carved stone.Wear and tear due to use and the passage of time.Measurements: 22 x 18.5 x 18.5 cm.Gothic carved stone capital with a square top and a conical base, decorated in relief with geometric ornaments.

Gothic spire; 14th century.Carved stone.It shows wear and tear caused by the passage of time.Measurements: 34 x 26 x 26 cm.Stone capital with a truncated cone-shaped structure with geometric designs carved on each of its sides. The Gothic capital gradually lost its importance as the period of the style progressed. After the transitional period in which the Romanesque capital is followed, it appears as a somewhat conical drum embraced with foliage whose motifs are taken from the flora of the country and crowned by a circular or polygonal abacus with various mouldings. Subsequently, the capital becomes smaller and more delicate and finally, it is eliminated when in the 15th century the bundle of reeds branches directly into the ribs of the vault without any solution of continuity in many cases or remains in the form of a simple ring.
Corinthian capital; Spain, 16th century.Carved stone.It shows faults in the carving caused by the passage of time.Measurements: 30 x 21.5 x 20 cm.Carved stone capital with carved decoration imitating plant motifs that extend over the entire surface of the piece. This architectural section has been conceived through an aesthetic of classical inspiration that rescues one of the classical orders (Ionic, Doric and Corinthian), specifically the Corinthian order. The creation of the Corinthian order is attributed to the Greek sculptor Callimachus in the 4th century BC. It is basically the same as the Ionic order, but differs from it in the shape and size of the capital. It is the most ornate of the three main classical orders, and although it is of Greek origin it was mainly used in Roman architecture.
Funerary stele: Gothic Romanesque; 13th-14th century.Carved stone.It has slight damage to the carving caused by the passage of time.Measurements: 53 x 35 x 14 cm.Tombstone made of stone that conserves remains of the polychromy on one of its faces. The piece starts from a square base in which the remains of humidity can be seen, caused by the fact that it is underground. The upper part, where the ornamentation is found, has a circular structure and on each of its faces there is a different decoration. One of them is ornamented with the presence of what appears to be an animal of fantastic origin, carved with its jaws open and resting on its hind legs, showing a defiant attitude about to attack. The rear area is presented in a more sober manner, due to the fact that the polychromy has not been preserved, and the carving represents a pate or kicked cross, which was a symbol that was very popular among the Templars.
Romanesque Christ. Spain, 12th-13th century.Bronze.Measurements: 16,5 x 14 cm .Round sculpture with a hollow at the back, which represents Christ crucified, with the wound in his side, his head fallen on his chest and his eyes open. Formally, the anatomy of Christ stands out: as was usual in the Romanesque style, it lacks naturalistic pretensions; its anatomy is extremely synthetic, reduced to the elementary, representing concise elements detailed by incision, such as the hair or the cloth of purity.During the Romanesque period, sculpture was most often conceived as part of the architecture, as in the Gothic period. However, there were also examples of free-standing sculpture, the most common themes being the Crucified Christ and the Virgin and Child (the pantheon of saints was still small). There were two models, the "colobium" and the "perizonium". The first is a Christ nailed to the cross, still alive, with a talar robe and four nails. It is a rare model, as it was only made in certain European territories (in Spain, only in the Crown of Aragon, especially in Catalonia, but always coexisting with the second model). The "perizonium" is also a Christ on the cross with four nails, dead or alive, but dressed in a cloth of purity. The piece presented here belongs to this second group. During the Romanesque period, four-nailed Christs were the norm, but this one has only three nails, a characteristic possibly due to the influence of external sources. The perizonium was the model that persisted, as the "colobium" was only made during the Romanesque period. They were also often polychrome pieces, whether worked in wood, metal, ivory or stone. Such pieces were intended to decorate the interiors of churches, mainly the chapel area, as they were not yet decorated with canvases.Romanesque sculpture pursued mainly didactic aims, and its images were conceived as a visual narrative, which should always be clearly legible. At this time, prior to the search for naturalism that would emerge during the Gothic period, the language is purely conceptual, and functions on the basis of symbols and conventions accepted by all. In this sense, anatomy is synthetic, representative rather than a reflection of the natural, as is the treatment of the face.
