An aftabeh (), or abtabeh, (), also called abdasta (), is a pitcher made out of clay, copper, brass, or plastic, traditionally used for purposes of hand washing, cleansing, and ablution. Its overall shape is similar to a ewer with an angled spout protruding from its side, from where water is poured.
