Ink stand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of an ink stand titled "Ink stand" by an unknown artist. A sculpture of a man sits cross-legged on the left. He has a large head, small eyes, and wears a long-sleeved robe. He rests his hands on his knees. To the right of the man is a rounded square inkwell with a recessed circular area on top. A line encircles the inkwell near its base. The number 905 appears on the front. A small snail-like object rests on the right edge. The objects sit on a reflective surface with a light-colored wall behind.
