Tankard

Jacobus Vander Spiegel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Silver-colored metal tankard with a handle on the left side and a lid on top. The handle is curved and has a decorative design etched into it. The lid has a twisted rope-like design on its finial. The tankard's body is cylindrical with a flat bottom, and it features a decorative border around the top and bottom edges. The border at the bottom is thicker and more ornate. The lid is attached to the tankard by a hinge. The background is gray with a shadow cast by the tankard.
