Bronze mortar & pestle, moulded with four Janus heads between moulded double baluster columns, the lip flared.

References: The Janus face comes from antiquity - the Roman god Janus was able to look both into the future and the past, and a model head in an apothecary shop could advertise before and after treatment.
