Description

A sample of wood used for dyeing. There is a tag attached to it that reads: Cochinchina 667? Tinct. This refers to a wood in Vietnam that was used for dyeing but it is unclear which one because the number is faded. The number is published in a French publication from 1902 about plants used for various purposes in Southeast Asia.
