A rare 18th century brass barber''s / bleeding bowl with a rough indentation and deep bowl.
Bloodletting as a medical practice has existed for thousands of years; ancient peoples, including the Greeks and Egyptians, used bloodletting to cure numerous conditions. Bloodletting was devised as a way to correct harmful imbalances in the body. Bleeding bowls were often used to catch blood during the procedure.
