[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 281076, member: 2844"]It looks like a Spanish tankard. I used to see a lot of that irregular, chunky woodwork with hand crafted iron studs in Spain, they might still produce it. Spanish leather is famous, and often combined with that chunky woodwork. That leather embossing technique is very old, and used to be applied to leather wall coverings before the invention of wall paper. I think you're right. Cervantes, and the other two are probably the two characters that gave him world fame, Don Quixote (photo 1) and Sancho Panza (photo 2).[/QUOTE]
