Medicine Container3563/2

Horn container with carved wooden lid. The small horn appear to have a boar bristle fringe at the end. The carved wooden stopper is larger than the horn container. The stopper has a humanoid face on the front with an owl-like head above it; five human figures are carved in a row up the back, each with their hands on the shoulders of the one in front. The stopper is tied onto the horn with a thin fibre cord. There are holes drilled through the lid and horn for securing the closure, but the pin is missing.
