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.
This type of iconography (often associated with a radiant sun and heraldic and allegorical symbolism) is typical of Italian Renaissance–Baroque workmanship, especially in Tuscany and the Venetian region.
