This turned conical-shaped wooden drug jar and lid is painted blue-green, ivory, red, black and gold. The front of the container has a oval ivory-colored medallion surrounded by stylized gold leaves tied at the bottom with a red bow. The label reads "RAD/MEU".
This jar and .873, 875, 876, and 877 appear to have come from the same apothecary.
