Basin

Samuel Hamlin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Basin by Samuel Hamlin: A large, round, silver-colored metal basin with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The basin has a smooth, slightly curved interior surface with a few small dark spots and scratches. A double-lined rim encircles the top edge. In the center of the basin's interior, there is an engraved logo or mark that reads "Samuel Hamlin". The basin appears to be sitting on a flat surface against a plain background.
