A substantial covered cooler in hand-hammered solid silver, featuring a baluster form that rests on a stepped, circular pedestal base.

The body features a smooth-walled cylindrical upper section, accented at its base by a circular band, which transitions into a rounded lower section that tapers gradually toward the foot.

It is flanked by two rectangular side handles made of ebonized wood, attached to vertical mounts.

The circular, slightly domed lid is accented by a series of raised concentric circles and topped with a cylindrical ebonized wood finial, echoing the design of the handles.
