Evil Desk Quill & Seal Ink Holder
An Evil Desk Quill & Seal Ink HolderOf unknown age, Chinese inspired, it appears to be probably of carved and lacquered soapstone. A desktop item, this nightmarish thing is very well sculpted and richly lacquered in deep blood red, it is formed of a coiled and writhing dragon, He all but breathes fire over the humped up eel that forms the handle to the cover of the well holding red seal wax. His frontal claws rise from the back to hold the opposing pair of quill pen wells. Good condition, substantial and heavy, not a thing for everybody, ..likely, not an ideal gift item for Democrats. 2" high, 9" x 5".
