The small size of this brass dish indicates that it was more likely used as a bleeding basin than for shaving, although it is likely that the surgeon-barbers interchanged the function of these bowls.
This one is sheet brass with an indentation for the neck, and measures 7" by 8�". It was made in the late 18th century.
