Silver tankard with a cylindrical body. The tankard has a flat, round lid with a ribbed edge and a central raised hemisphere. A decorative handle is attached to the body, featuring a leaf-shaped end. The handle is secured by two decorative pieces: one at the top, featuring two animals facing each other, and the leaf-shaped piece at the bottom. The tankard sits on a small, raised base. The background is plain and light-colored. The tankard is by John Noyes.
