Summary edit

Blue glazed earthenware storage jar, India, 1801-1920
Title
Blue glazed earthenware storage jar, India, 1801-1920
Description

Medical treatments made by Hakims (physicians) were contained in this blue earthenware jar. The jar is labelled in Urdu. Hakims are trained in Unani Tibb, an Islamic medical tradition. Such jars once filled an Indian pharmacy.

In Unani Tibb, a person’s health and personality are influenced by their unique combination of humours, or elements, and their relationship with the environment. A person becomes ill when the humours are unbalanced. Treatment is tailored to suit the individual because each person has their own specific mix of humours.

maker: Unknown maker

Place made: India
