Early 19th C. Button Hole Banded Firkin

This substantial firkin has button-hole bands​, which are quite desirable.  The handle is attached with hand carved wood pegs.  The bands are secured with with early cut nails.  It is quite heavy for its size, so I believe it is made of Chestnut or Ash.  But I am not 100% certain.  It measures 11 1/2" tall (16" to the top of the handle) by 11" wide at the top by 12" wide at the base.  
A wonderful early example!
