A close-up view of a dark gray stone mortar filled with a mixture of crushed ingredients. The dominant color is red, derived from chopped red chili peppers. Visible are small white seeds, likely from the chilies. The texture appears wet and slightly oily. Some darker, almost black, fragments are mixed in, possibly burnt garlic or other spices. The ingredients are coarsely ground and not entirely homogenous.
