Description	Photograph of Charles H. Culp's collection of Indian mortars and pestles, the largest in the world, Pacific Grove, Monterey, ca.1900. The stone mortars range in size from large washtub-size cauldrons to small palm-size bowls and are arranged on the floor and on shelves in a room. There is a set of shelves on the right side of the image and a tiered set of shelves on the left. Between them there is a man, presumably Culp, sitting on a stool in the back right corner of the room, wearing a black suit. There is a light bulb hanging on a string at center.
