Basin - Copper
Repoussé copper basin from the 17th/18th century.
Hemispherical body with a wide flared mouth, an outwardly projecting and well-defined rim. Body marked by vertical beadings (rounded rib motif) while below the rim runs an ornamental band of stylized leaves. At the base of the basin there is an anthropomorphic sun with repoussé and incised flames, containing a human face inside.
