Rare glass laboratory flask containing old residues, with its original cork stopper. The handwritten label mentions "Fiel et Foie" (Gallbladder and Liver), associated with an "immunized monkey", indicating an experimental preparation related to early 20th-century immunological research. The presence of organs (liver, bile) combined with a mention of animal immunization refers to serotherapy practices and biological experimentation in the laboratory. The whole has a strong historical and scientific significance, reinforced by the handwritten dating around 1913.
