Watch List notes:

Spanish colonial iron-bound wooden canteen, 1600s-1700s. 931 grams, 8" long, 4-3/4" wide, 7" tall. With the appearance of a rustic lunchbox, this wooden piece with iron straps at ends was made from a hollowed-out tree and decorated with cruciform design on one side and a cardinal-like seahorse on the other, with tiny hole at top for inserting liquid (now blocked, but something rattling inside) flanked by tiny finger-holes in the handle, the whole piece in stable and complete condition with minor losses and signs of ancient woodbore. With photo-certificate.

Estimate: $400 - 600
