"Jabón 5 pm" boxed toilet soap set (box and three wrapped bars)
Object/Artifact
Cuban boxed men's toilet‑soap set: a two‑piece (lidded) rectangular cardboard box containing three individually wrapped soap bars. Box lid and bar wrappers share the same modern graphic — a broad cream horizontal band across a black ground, with a red dot beside "JABON" and the brand "5pm" in red italic. Image 2 shows the open box with the three black‑wrapped bars in place; image 3 is a single wrapped bar. Unused.
