The basin is decorated 'a graffito' in polychrome showing the biblical scene of 'Abimelech restoring Sarah to Abraham'. Abraham tried to pass on Sarah, his wife, to Abimelech, King of Gerar, by pretending she was his sister. When God told Abimelech before the marriage, he returned Sarah and her dowry to Abraham.
