About the Item
The object depicts a Buddha sitting on a decorative base, holding a small red object. The Buddha figure is rendered with a smiling, serene expression typical of traditional iconography. The Buddha wears a robe decorated with floral patterns in red, blue and green. Around her neck is a gold necklace with pendants, emphasizing the importance and sacredness of the figure.
In the center, facing the Buddha, is the actual inkwell, represented by a golden globe-shaped structure. The base of the inkwell is decorated with floral and naturalistic motifs, in keeping with the Buddha's robe. The surface of the globe is engraved with geographical details.
