About this work

Wooden round object with a flat bottom. The object has a metal upper rim. From beneath this metal rim, four vertical metal strips run down the outside of the object to below the bottom. A metal strip runs centrally over the top of the object, over the outside, down to the bottom. The metal strip over the top has a round pin in the center of the object in the bottom. All strips are mounted with metal nails. Inside the object, beneath the metal strip and against the outer wall, is a wooden block with the mark (standing lion) stamped on it. The same mark is stamped on the inside, on the bottom.
