This brass inkstand has a tiered, pyramidal form, rising from a square base with decorative stepped edges. Each tier is adorned with intricate cast patterns. The focal point of the inkstand is an eagle with outstretched wings perched atop the hinged lid of the inkwell. It serves as a finial when opening the lid. On the bottom of the inkstand, there is a mark consisting of an “S” enclosed within an uneven oval, along with the number “B128”.
