Description: An antique travel brass inkwell,
late 19C.early 20C, middle eastern. This is a scribe's or calligrapher's pen and inkwell
case made of brass with a compartment to hold quills and an attached inkwell (left
relative to the opening) with a lid. Length: 22.5 cm (8.9") ; Weight: 425 gram (15
oz) Note: Qalandans have been used in the middle
east since the 15th century. There are qalandans with engraved quotations from the
Koran in silver and gold inlay, but the majority are brass pen/feather holders, with or
without attached ink containers. The ink was often in powdered form. There are also
Jewish inkwells, usually marked so, used by 'Sofer Stam' (Torah scriber). Usually, the
smaller and lighter the inkwell, the higher its value.
