Basin by Samuel Green: A large, round, metal basin with a wide mouth and a flat bottom. The basin has a raised rim with two concentric ridges around the edge. The metal appears to be silver or pewter, with visible scratches and dark spots of discoloration scattered across the surface. The basin is positioned against a plain background, with a subtle shadow underneath.
