A 17th Century Norwegian Peg Tankard

My choice this week is this little jewel of a tankard. It is perfect in its colour, proportions, and use of ornamentation and cast elements. Finding a Norwegian silver tankard as early as 1650 is incredibly rare. This beautiful example has unusual features, such as its double-eagle thumb piece and three handsome lion sejant feet.
