Basin Stand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black, two-tiered Basin Stand with a rectangular shape. The top tier has a flat surface and a drawer with a lion head-shaped knob in the center. The drawer is closed. Four legs support the stand, two on each long side, with ornate carvings on the upper part of each leg. The legs have small wheels at the bottom. The lower tier is also rectangular and flat. The background is white, with a slight shadow cast by the stand. The stand appears to be made of wood. There are no other objects around it. The image is in black and white. Basin Stand by an unknown artist.
