I currently keep most of my spices generally in a dark place in screw
top glass jars that i've bought - and I have labels on the bottles in
Arabic.
There's a Collegium coming up soon and they asked folks to make
displays. So i'm thinking of putting together a bunch of my stuff. I
want to print out my articles on the two 13th century spice boxes and
put spices on display in containers labeled in Arabic.
Some European stuff suggests that at least in some times and places
spices were kept in leather pouches (14th c. France, IIRC)
But i haven't found any clear information on in what sorts of
containers the Arabs and related cultures kept their spices.
Has anyone come across any related information?
