Description

Large horn container with an iron handle, decorated with various motifs. In this case, the inscription "Soy de Enrique" ("I belong to Enrique") features a prominent letter "E" that ends in the shape of a monkey. The rest of the decoration includes butterflies, a crown, a human figure, and vegetal motifs. Most of these types of pieces came from Extremadura with the shepherds, and the larger ones—like this example—were used to safely store liquids such as milk.
