Basin (Pan)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a Basin (Pan) by an unknown artist. The basin has a circular shape with a wide mouth and a flat bottom. It has two small handles on either side. The basin appears to be made of metal, with a green patina and visible signs of wear and tear, including rust spots and scratches. The basin is positioned centrally in the image, with a plain gray background that gradates from light to dark. A shadow is cast to the right of the basin.
