Rare antique cylindrical advertising tin for "Zèbre" ointment, a veterinary treatment for horses' feet and hooves. Its striking bright red decoration features a zebra standing on a globe, a particularly strong and memorable illustration that made the brand famous. The text recommends its use by veterinarians and details its application to protect hooves from moisture. The presence of its original contents, still three-quarters full, significantly enhances its historical interest and rarity on the market.
