A wooden barrel lying on its side on a stand, tapped and ready to pour. The barrel is golden brown, lighter along the top where the light falls, with level stave lines and four dark gray iron hoops, two toward each end; its top and bottom curve out a little in the middle. A small brass tap with a square handle and a down-turned spout sticks out of the right-hand end, below the middle. The stand is two wooden blocks on a long rail, with open space under the barrel. No label, brand or lettering is stitched, so it can be a whiskey barrel, a beer keg or a cask of anything.
