@artseal.hq: Made in Naples around 1480, this jar’s narrow middle made it easier to grip among others on a shelf. Its raised lip helped secure a cover over the herbs and medicinal preparations inside. And those two painted faces? We don’t know who they were. We like to imagine a gift between two people, a little piece of their shared life. That part is imagination, not documented history. Trust your curiosity. Discover ArtSeal at trustartseal.com.
