Well, it looks like a tap
When there’s a DIY emergency, sometimes you have to make do with less than the best. You might need to put a mismatched tap head on a tap until you can get hold of another one, or a different color cupboard door on a unit as a temporary measure. These things happen and supply chains can mean delays.
There’s absolutely no excuse for this DIY disaster though unless the landlord was trying to make some sort of surrealist art, Salvador Dali tribute in the apartment bathroom. Sure, it has holes in it that the water can come out of, but this isn’t exactly going to make washing your hands an easy task.
