Basin

George Lightner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Basin by George Lightner: A silver basin with a circular shape and slightly raised edge. The basin has a flat bottom and is made of metal, likely silver, with visible scratches and marks on its surface. A circular line design adorns the interior, and a small circular indentation sits at the center. The basin appears to have a worn, aged appearance. The background of the image is light gray.
