Notes: Provenance: Collection of Engineer Elísio Romariz dos Santos Silva, item number 68, mentioned in the notebook of the collector «Angola - Arte Negra, Relação e descrição das peças», identified in it as «Gral»: "This type of mortar (Tebino teha milungo) is used for trampling spice plants for the kitchen. [...] The upper part of the Gral [...] is decorated with a frieze divided into 4 parts by diametrically opposite projections, one of them is crossed by a hole through which a thread would pass in order to be suspended. Between these protusions there is a decoration made with carvings, the four panels being different. Next to the foot strangulation there are two grooves. Purchased at Sanzala Muata Sabumbo - Soba Matassambuia, Posto do Lóvua, Municipality of Chitato, Lunda, in June 1965 [...]".
