The central part of this Egyptian-themed inkwell features the face of a pharaoh, complete with a headdress featuring horizontal stripes and a central blue gem at the bottom. On either side of the pharaoh’s face, there are two applied cartouches: one is the goddess Isis with a green glass cabochon above her, and the other is a sphinx with a blue glass cabochon above it. The inkwell has a pen holder at the top.
