A round, lithographed tin box for the famous berlingots (hard candies) of Carpentras, decorated with a polychrome scene depicting Saint Christopher crossing the waves with the Child on his shoulder. The religious iconography, widely used by the St. Christophe confectionery in the mid-20th century, is consistent with traditional Provençal packaging, blending local identity, pious imagery, and commercial appeal. This small format corresponds to a small box, probably intended for over-the-counter sale or as a souvenir, and not strictly as a promotional sample.
