This souvenir inkstand beautifully captures the essence of Paris. The inkstand is designed to resemble the iconic French Gothic architecture of Notre Dame, with its central facade and two side towers prominently displayed. The base of the inkstand is ornate and has a pen channel. On either side of the cathedral representation are inkwells, each with a hinged lid. The lids are adorned with colored pictures of Paris landmarks: one depicts the Arc de Triomphe, and the other showcases the Eiffel Tower.
