About product
Wooden shepherd’s drinking vessel with a set bottom. The body is cylindrical in shape with an inscription embossed from brass wire: “UP SHEEP UP UP TO THE SHEPHERD’S HUT YOU WILL FIND EVEN BETTER GRAZING THERE” and a picture of a grazing sheep. A large flat handle at the top of the vessel is screwed onto the body, at the bottom it is attached to the body by a brass circumferential strip with an engraved intertwined wave ornament. The top of the handle is decorated with a carved figure of a sitting shepherd playing a flute and a sitting dog.
