This inkwell takes the form of a jockey’s cap rendered in bronze, complete with a rounded crown, stitched panel detailing, and a front bow motif. The cap rests atop a pair of crossed riding crops with tapered shafts and flared ends. The crops serve as both a visual base and support, anchoring the cap in an X-formation. The lid of the cap lifts to reveal a shallow ink reservoir.
