Design for a basin (?)

Inventory number: CVH 512/7
Bollaert & Moortgat

Right-hand half of a design for a water basin (?) (the left-hand half has probably been torn off at the fold line): the basin is broader at the bottom; it has a bearded man’s head with a ring through his mouth on the right-hand edge and also bears a round medallion at the bottom with a wreathed head in profile and an oval cartouche. Above this bottom band, there are another three horizontal strips, each with a different decorative element, and right at the top the basin has a sort of crenellation.
