Description

Amadou - Tinder fungus

Antique pharmacy bottle - Wide-mouth apothecary jar. 19th-century mouth-blown glass

It comes from the old cellar-laboratory of a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not been moved from the shelves since the late 1950s!

There is still some product left inside

Tinder is a fungus, Fomes fomentarius!

The material is fibrous, brown and spongy, even after all this time.

Before the invention of modern dressings, it was used as a powerful haemostatic agent to stop bleeding.

This large-capacity jar was a storage jar intended for stockpiling.
