Title

A cure for jaundice: Bone Bowl

Description

Jaundice is a symptom, rather than a disease. Shetlanders used folk-remedies to try to cure the condition. One way was to drink water from a stream where three landlords’ estates met. The water was scooped with the big bowl, called a kapp, and the patient sipped it with the little dish. This dish is made from whalebone. Customs & Folklore gallery FPL 2012.480
