A large copper water vessel for ritual ablution in the synagogue. It is shaped like a tub with an oval base and profiled, slightly flared sides, to which two small, oval-shaped handles are attached with rivets just at the top edge. The bottom of the vessel is decorated with a precisely detailed relief of a fish. The tub is tinned on the inside. No manufacturer's markings.

Unfortunately, there is no information in the collection records about where this item came from. It was purchased by the District Museum in Rzeszów in 1964.
