About this work
This tin glazed drug jar is decorated with a cobalt blue festoon surrounded by flowers, leaves, and an outstretched hand holding the Rod of Asclepius. Just below the festoon is a Caduceus. Geoffroyae refers to the bark of the cabbage tree, which was used as a cure for parasitic worms.
