label: Description
content: The conservator who worked on this object was able to see at least one earlier design under the green paint, centered on what is now the back of the container. The second design was detected with infra red videocom. The letters "A D" can be seen, as well as two layers of superimposed letters. It is likely this container was used to store several different types of medecinal plant material. Often an apothecary reused a container by removing the one label and replacing it with another.
