A round, lithographed tin box for Evian Grains, a medicinal product marketed as a regulator of digestive functions. The lid, richly decorated in a palette of midnight blue, green, and gold, features a central griffin surrounded by scrolls and cartouches, while the other side details the therapeutic indications related to the liver, intestines, and stomach.
