Tankard by Peter Young. The object is a silver-colored metal container with a handle and lid. The container tapers inwards slightly at the top then flares out to a wider lip. A handle with a rounded end extends from the right side and a small lever extends upwards from the top near the handle. The lid on top is rounded with a small circular indentation. The base of the container has a decorative ridge around it. The container has a slightly tarnished appearance with darker spots throughout. A small ruler-like measurement tool and a label are in front of the container on a white surface against a light-colored wall.
