Hot milk jug made by Samuel Kirk, 1828; silver, repoussé, hand chased. An engraved monogram bears the initials "WPG." The milk jug is hexagonal with straight sides, an inwardly tapering base and shoulder and a straight neck. The hand-engraved cast silver handle has two ivory insulators and a relief head. The separate flat cover, with a projection to cover the spout, is topped with a fruit finial. The repoussé design features a dense pattern of flowers and scrolls on a stippled background with Native American motifs. One side of the jug features a Native man with a shaved head and feather headdress as he crouches low to the ground while hunting with a bow-and-arrow. The other side shows a Native man holding a Western shotgun and wearing a European-style shirt and long pants in place of his traditional fur clothing and headdress.
