Project Information
A "molcajete" is a stone for grinding corn or grain. In this case the stone was not flat on the bottom, so it needed a holder to stabilize it in use. The holder was carved from 6/4 mahogany with hand tools. Since the stone was not circular, the shape in the wood had to be fitted to the stone. Marks on the rim help to align the stone. The dove on the corner represents to middle name of the recipient, Altagracia.
