About this work
This albarello is elaborately decorated with mythical figures. A white scroll is marked <i>TROCIS DE CAPPA RIBVS</i> in blue text. Pharmaceutical historian George Urdang attributes this jar from the Italian city of Urbina and dates it to the 16th century. Albarelli with wide mouths were used to store dry leaves and bark and other bulky material.
