Tankard by William J. Elsworth. The object is a metal container with a handle and lid. The body is cylindrical and widens slightly at the base. A handle is attached to the right side, curving downwards and then upwards, ending in a scroll-like shape. The handle is attached to the body by a decorative metal piece. The lid is circular and flat on top with concentric circular grooves. A small lip around the edge of the lid fits onto the body of the container. The entire object appears to be made of a dark-colored metal.
