Basin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a round, metal basin. The basin has a wide mouth and a curved interior. It appears to be made of metal, possibly silver or steel, and has a dark patina with visible scratches and marks on its surface. The basin is centered in the image, with a plain gray background that is lighter around the edges and darker in the center. The basin's interior is shiny in some areas, reflecting light, while other areas appear duller. The overall appearance suggests an old, possibly antique, metal basin. Basin by artist.
