What is a "basin"?

A basin is a shallow container where one washes their hands, face, or other items. Basins are commonly made from materials like ceramic, porcelain, or metal and are designed to be placed on a countertop or mounted on a wall. They can be found in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where washing is needed. Basins often have a drain to carry away water and may include taps for controlling the flow of water.
