This jar was used to store solid substances (dried herbs, roots, bark, seeds, and fruit, or salts, minerals, and metals) most likely employed in the preparation of drugs or home remedies. The iconography is not directly connected to the jar’s function, but the chasing animals and the Arabic benedictory words addressed to the owner convey an overall propitious symbolism. For their cleverness and speed the hare seems to have been regarded as especially auspicious.
