Very small paint tube of Viridian pigment (found in the cardboard box bottom). The small paper label at the top wraps to the back. It appears to have a brown background, green brorder, and black type which reads 'Winsor & Newton Limited, Rathbone Place, London, England, Viridian'. The label has little damage, is very faded, dirty, and discolored. The tube is dirty and tarnished. The twist on cap has raised detail of a winged serpent/lion figure. There is raised writing around the upper rim of the tube
