This small, clear glass bottle has a slender cylindrical shape, with a narrow neck and a silver metallic cap. The front features a period label with distinctive graphics, on a black and gold background, typical of spirit productions from years past. The label bears the inscription \"RHUM DES ANTILLES VANA\" (VANA WEST INDIES RUM), accompanied by a central illustration depicting a stylized female portrait, surrounded by gilded plant motifs. The print shows signs of wear and patina, particularly in the center and on the edges, highlighting the object's authenticity and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe glass shows slight surface alterations and some internal residues, characteristic of prolonged storage.
