DescriptionHammered copper jug with handle; date unknown. Has a high rounded shoulder tapering to almost straight sides, a small slightly flared spout soldered at the center top, and is decorated with crude brass inlay fret right side next to the handle. The shoulder of the jug is also decorated with unevenly executed fret of brass inlay. There is a simple strap handle of copper riveted to the body of the jug—brass overlay fret decoration exists vertically from the base of the handle and extends to the base of the jug.
