Italian term
catino (dell'abside)
Italian to English
Art/Literary
Architecture
historical church architecture
of the church of St. Mary in Scala Coeli, at Three Fountains outside Rome.
"Nel catino dell’abside, è inserito un bellissimo mosaico realizzato
da alcuni valenti artisti alla fine del 1500."
WordRef (http://www.wordreference.com/iten/catino) says "washbowl" but I think it means the basin-shaped area at the back of the apse. What do you all think?

Selected
semi-dome (of the apse)
"Conch" is entirely correct, as far as I can gather, but I thought it was worth adding an alternative.
Assuming it is half of a proper dome shape, which appears to be the case.

You may decide that "semi-dome" is a more self-explanatory term.

As you say, it is the basin shaped area in the top part of the apse.
CATINO has got a few meanings in Italian.
