About this work
This dark green blown glass jar has a wide mouth to accommodate dried plant material. The label is marked <i>L SANCTI</i> with the alchemical symbol for powder above. The label is applied with the cold paint method. Unlike the enamel labels, there is no baking involved. Therefore it is not unusual to find the label has been badly scratched and suffered severe paint loss.
