Post Medieval medical find...

[Bavaria Mike]

I found this recently at the castle site near a tower base. A forum friend IDed it for me, it is a post Medieval medical instrument called a cupping glass. I believe it was used for bleeding. Top view.

Bottom view.

A small bottle I found on a farm field. 98mm tall and 18mm wide, has a munk on the side. Bottles are a rare find for me. I need to crack the code and figure out where the old Medieval dumps were other than farm fields.

Bottle bottom, has Germany written on it so I would think it is pre WWII. HH, Mike

I can understand wanting to see a link, cupping glass is the best translation I could do but, it is made of brass. Here's a link however, it is in German, Hermann Historica - Internationales Auktionshaus fr Antiken, Alte Waffen, Orden und Ehrenzeichen, Historische Sammlungsstcke . HH, Mike
