Baptismal Basin
Beige ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and slightly narrow rim. The interior features a colorful painted scene depicting a baptism. Three figures are present: one on the left wearing a blue and yellow garment, another in the center with a halo and no clothing, and a third on the right wearing a red robe. The central figure appears to be receiving water poured from a vessel held by a flying angel above. The scene includes a tree on the right side and wavy lines representing water at the bottom. The bowl's exterior is not visible. The scene is attributed to "Baptismal Basin" by artist.
