This technical illustration shows a longitudinal cross-section of a coopered wooden barrel, emphasizing the curved staves held together by concentric metal hoops. The spigot is inserted through the bilge, with a bung sealing the top opening; internal reinforcement elements and wood grain direction are clearly rendered. The design reflects historical craftsmanship used in aging wine, whiskey, and beer.
