Embossed copper basin, Tuscany, 16th century

Copper basin, elegantly embossed with two rows of dense, elongated gadroons interspersed with a smooth step. Rim with a turned and hammered edge. A first corolla of oval, nail-shaped gadroons emerges from a small, raised central tondo. Then a small, slightly raised circular step, from which a very dense second crown of elongated, wedge-shaped gadroons extends, ending beneath the rim. This rim features a turned and hammered outer edge. Particular mention should be made of the high quality of the embossing, which is perfectly appreciable even on the back of the splendid artifact, and the object's patina.
