Camel Head Inkwell

Detailed Features:

• Head: The camel’s head shows details like the prominent jawline, the slightly downturned mouth, and the rounded forehead.
• Ears: The ears are small and rounded, sticking out slightly from the sides of the head.
• Neck/Mane: The neck area features a textured surface, suggesting the camel’s mane or fur. The texture is created by raised, wavy lines that run vertically down the neck.
• Harness: A harness or bridle is depicted around the camel’s head. It consists of a strap around the snout and another around the head, connected by a vertical strap on the cheek.
• Tassel: A small red tassel hangs from the bottom of the harness, adding a touch of color and detail.

Painting and Finish:

• Cold-Painted: The inkwell is “cold-painted,” meaning the paint was applied after the piece was fired or molded, rather than being part of a glazing process.
• Colors: The camel is painted in a range of earth tones:
  • Browns: Various shades of brown are used for the main body and mane, creating a layered and textured effect.
  • Red: The eyes are painted red, creating a striking contrast. The tassel is also red.
  • Black: The harness is painted black, emphasizing its presence against the lighter tones of the camel.
