This traveling inkwell has a leather exterior, and an interior made of .800 silver. The leather exterior is adorned with hand-painted flowers and birds. One can make out a chicken and rooster. The other birds painted are faded and it is difficult to identify the type of bird. Inside, there is a threaded screw that locks the inkwell in place. The inkwell also contains three parts that can be assembled into a dip pen.
