Lavabo, The barrel is cast with the spouts and presumably also with the handle inserts as a whole in cire perdue technique. The flat convex barrel has a large concave collar. The two curved spouts, which are more or less oval in cross-section and are in line with each other, end in vague animal heads. At right angles thereto are the two handle tips in the form of female heads against the collar at the level of the sharp edge, in which the handle holes. The handle consists of a curved iron bar with a copper plate covering. Casting protrusions can be observed on barrel and spouts. The holes in the women's heads were probably drilled when the current handle was replaced., anonymous, Rijnstreek, c. 1450 - c. 1500, copper alloy, iron (metal), striking (metalworking), h 30 cm × w 34.3 cm × d 21.4 cm
