Catalogue Description: Alabaster basin with rolled rim, flat-base, and short tubular spout just below the rim. The vessel has been pieced together from 3 fragments which are held together by means of some adhesive and iron (rusted) staples. The repair is probably a relatively modern undertaking. Condition: Incomplete; numerous chips and cracks; otherwise good.
