washbin
Basin for clothes
A washbin is a large basin or container used for washing clothes, dishes, or other items by hand.
Before modern plumbing and washing machines became widespread, washbins were essential household equipment, typically made of wood, metal, or galvanized steel.
The term remains in use for any tub-like vessel designated for washing purposes, whether utilitarian or decorative.
She filled the washbin with soapy water to scrub the muddy work clothes.
