The object features a predominantly ochre and brown surface, typical of mid-20th century cocoa packaging. The decor is composed of printed motifs in blue-grey and black tones, with a large \"CACAO\" inscription in capital letters on the upper part, as well as the mention \"SOLUBILIS\" at the bottom of the label. The graphics and typography bear witness to a retro advertising style characteristic of the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lid, also cylindrical, shows heavy patina and signs of wear, as well as marked dust, indicating prolonged storage. The box shows signs of oxidation and rubbing, with some stains and surface alterations around the perimeter. The central part of the label, once illustrated, seems to have partially lost its motifs or inscriptions, probably due to the effects of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe structure of the box, without visible hinge or handle elements, is typical of dry food packaging from that era. One can still distinguish framed decorative elements, with an ornamental border on a faded yellow background.
