This inkwell blends religious iconography with the streamlined aesthetics of the Art Deco era. The central element is a stylized figure of Mary holding the infant Jesus, a classic representation of the Madonna and Child. The overall design reflects the Art Deco style, characterized by geometric shapes, stylized ornamentation, and a sense of streamlined elegance. This is evident in the stepped, angular base and the radiating, fan-like pattern on the pen rest.
