Curious transparent glass laboratory vial, preserved with its original annotated cork stopper. The handwritten label reads "Healthy Rabbit - Ovaries T 100", indicating a preparation or sample of ovaries from a healthy subject, likely used as a reference in an experimental or comparative setting. This type of specimen aligns with early 20th-century scientific protocols, where the study of animal tissues helped establish physiological baselines for studied pathologies. The "T 100" notation possibly refers to a dilution, classification, or series of experiments.
