What's that thing called to crush herbs?!
Answers:
Pestle and mortar are what they're called. The mortar is the bowl, and people use them today, particularly for grinding spices and herbs (as you said). They were originally used for grinding medicines, and can be made out of many different materials.
A good site for info. about them is Wikepedia (as usual!).
