專家說明

The portrait on this albarello may be Archbishop Turpin (sometimes referred to as Tilpin), who was Archbishop of Reims during the late 8th century. He was present at the Council of Rome in 769 and Pope Adrian I bestowed on him the pallium, confirming the rights of his church. The Historia Caroli Magni, a 12th century forged chronicle of legendary material about Charlemagne's alleged conquest of Spain was incorrectly attributed to him.

The label refers to Agrimonia eupatoria, a drug prepared with the herb Argrimony, which was used to relieve a wide range of symptoms and conditions from sore throats to liver problems.
