Inkwell (top to bottle)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a golden inkwell titled "Inkwell (top to bottle)" by an unknown artist. The inkwell is made of gold and is circular. The top of the inkwell is decorated with a pattern resembling a flower or a shell, having multiple curved sections that rise from the base. The base of the inkwell appears to be flat. The gold color is not uniform; some areas are darker, suggesting wear. The background is dark at the top and lightens towards the bottom, with the inkwell casting a slight shadow. The image is well-lit, with a light source coming from the front.
