About this work
This urn-shaped drug jar with a grayish-white glaze, a straight neck and a round domed foot. A rectangular label is formed by thin yellow and brown stripes and topped by four C-scrolls forming a blue cartouche with a yellow center. The rectangle creates a frame for the containers inscription. The outer frame is surrounded at the top and bottom by green and brown vines and yellow swags of beads.
