Medicine Jars

Medicine jars

My latest drawing for my Sandal Castle spread if of some of the jars found during excavations.

To quote a caption from Wakefield Museum:

Many small jars or bottles made of pottery and glass, probably for medicines and ointments, were found in the building that used to be the kitchen of the castle. This suggests that wounded soldiers were being treated there in the Civil War.
