Object/Artifact
A short cylindrical clear-glass jar with a ribbed ivory/cream plastic screw cap, containing white cold cream (a cleansing/emollient skin cream). A printed paper label on the body reads "COLD CREAM" (white lettering in a blue oval) above the brand "fiesta" (black script across an orange-white-green band), with the directions "Limpia todo tipo de cutis. Suaviza y lubrica la piel" ("Cleanses all skin types. Softens and lubricates the skin"), the "Suchel" signature/logo, and "HECHO EN CUBA." The jar is full/part-full of cream; label aged with staining and the cap soiled.
