Drug Jar
- Description
- This turned wooden drug jar is painted reddish-brown. The ivory-colored band inscribed with gothic letters indicates this jar dates from the seventeenth century. The shield in the center depicts three acorns and leaves on a stem, and probably represented the name of the apothecary where it was used.
