This is a lid/head from a Kentucky Bourbon barrel. It will arrive just as it was when it was removed. There will be the beautiful charcoal on the bottom. The top will have the wear that developed on the wood as it ages in the distillery. There may be some stamping on the top but that will vary from lid to lid. They will usually need to be reinforced in order to stay securely together due to the drying of them after the bourbon is removed since they will sometimes twist and shrink.
