Basin by Thomas S. Derby. The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a metal basin. The basin is centered in the photo. It is circular and has a raised rim around the edge. Dark spots and scratches are visible on its interior surface. A small label with text is in the bottom-left corner, but the text is illegible. The background is gray with small white specks and faint scratches.
