Basalt Molcajete crafted in Aotearoa

The molcajete originates in Mexico. As a long time cook and crafter of mortar and pestles, I originally carved a molcajete as a commission, a gift from Kiwi husband to his Mexican wife.

The wide bowl was created to grind and pulp salsas from fresh ingredients such as tomatoes, chilies, coriander and salt.

25 x 25 x 13 cm. 10kg.
