Rectangular in shape, it is made from a thick woven fabric, recognizable by its grainy texture and aged beige hue. On the visible side, a blue inscription reads: \"100 Kilos SOUFRE SUBLIME LES RAFFINERIES DE SOUFRE RÉUNIES MARSEILLE\". This marking, clearly legible despite wear, attests to its original use in the transport or storage of refined sulfur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the sack shows numerous traces of use and an authentic patina, reflecting its age and repeated handling. Several stains and marks of old repairs are visible, as well as discolorations and areas of friction, mainly on the upper left third. A robust side seam reinforces the structure, typical of industrial sacks designed to withstand heavy loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe period industrial graphic design, with its simple, aligned characters, reflects the utilitarian style of raw material packaging used in French refineries.
