Small clear glass vial with original cork stopper, retaining a handwritten label mentioning "Rabbit - right ear" as well as a precise date of March 18, 1914. This type of anatomical indication directly refers to samples or observations in a laboratory, probably in an experimental or medical context from the early 20th century. The presence of an additional annotation "Ears" on the top of the cork stopper reinforces the methodical and organized nature of these preparations. An evocative piece of ancient scientific practices, both sober and full of meaning.
