Mughal Brass Writing Box
Northern India
19th century
length: 26.2 cm; height: 15 cm
The box comprises two separate tubular pen holders, and a cylindrical inkwell with a domed cover topped with an elaborately cast finial. The cover unscrews
to reveal the inkwell. A pin amusingly cast in the shape of an eating squirrel holds a double lid to the pen compartments in place. The box is cast with foliage
and floral scrollwork and has a beautiful soft patina.
This is a fine and charming example of a rare Mughal Indian writing box.
