About the Item
A rare and exquisite primitive tankard from Norway, crafted from birch wood / hardwood with remarkable hand-carved details. This exceptional piece features a lion figurine elegantly perched on the top of the handle, complemented by a beautifully carved lion motif on the lid's center.
