The object is a metal container with a cylindrical body that tapers slightly at the bottom. Three horizontal lines encircle the middle and bottom of the body. The body sits on a flat base with three small feet. A curved handle is attached to the left side, featuring an ornate design at the top and bottom where it meets the body and on the top. The top is flat and covered with a lid with a decorative edge. The lid features a leaf design on one side. The entire object appears to be made of silver or a similar metal.
