Hammered pot. The inside of the pot is silver, besides where the bolts that attach the handle have rusted. The bottom of the pot is concave. The handles are rings of metal, which is then attached to another metal loop that is attached to a band on the pot. The outside of the pot is copper colored, with a few areas where the silver metal can be seen (in an oval-shaped pattern). There is a yellowish band about a half of an inch from the bottom of the pot. The pot has a band about an inch under the handle that is a result of the metal being pushed out, so that there is an indention on the inside of the pot that matches, and forms a ring around the pot. The bottom of the pot is mostly black, with a few rusty spots.

This is a cooking pot. The bottom of the pot shows heat exposure, and the pot has experienced corrosion, possibly as a result of use.
