Lunch or Beer bucket
Sorry, couldn't resist.
From the description, the bucket would have probably been made during the reign of Justinian and, if a diplomatic gift, the “Master Count” would have asserted that the barbarian chieftain receiving it was still under the suzerainty of the Roman Empire.

I marked the "Willy Howe Burial Mound" in Yorkshire on Google Maps a while back. Google regularly sends me updates on how many people have visited based on the marked spot on Google Maps -- it has had over a million people look at it! I never thought an obscure place like that would get any interest at all.
Oh, Sunken, this was one of your best finds. The etching is exquisite. The musculature is reminding me strongly of the Art Deco simple lines. VERY unusual.
There’s a hole in the bucket dear Liza.
