Rare original Hemo Draksha Malt porcelain enamel advertising sign board from India, written entirely in Hindi.

The sign consists of two adjoining panels that originally formed one complete display, typically used on pharmacy or dispensary walls. A striking survivor of early Indian medical advertising, showing bold Devanagari typography and deep enamel color.
