Three dogs (perhaps spaniels or setters) sitting on a round base support an inkwell in the shape of a globe or sphere. The globe is hinged in the middle and opens to access the inkwell.
This inkstand is seen more commonly with sitting greyhounds (or whippets). Here is a link to that Inkipedia entry: Dog – Greyhound Mounted Inkwell – The Society of Inkwell Collectors (SOIC) (inkwellresearch.com)
