Antique figural brass inkwell.
This piece depicts a satyr, likely meant to be a minion of the god Dionysus given the inkwell's Roman influence. The hinged lid opens to reveal a porcelain ink reservoir set into the head. Richly cast with fine detail, the piece rests on a red stone plinth over a black base. A playful yet refined example of mythological novelty ware.
Appears to be in very good condition with only minor spots of patination/tarnish.
4" dia and 5" H
