LAPID: CANCRor:
19th century
This conical-shaped, wooden drug jar has an ivory-colored shield that reads "LAPID:/CANCRor:" There is a rectangular paper label partially glued to the interior of the lid with a remnant of a small piece of yellow paper attached to it. Containers 1991.0664.0889 through 892 appear to be from the same apothecary. The Deutsche Apotheken-Museum in Heidelberg, Germany has similar containers in their collection.
