Late 19th Century French Bronze Inkwell Modelled as a Monkey Castrating a Cat!!

About the Item

Well what can I say about this incredible Inkwell, I have seen many examples from this period that depict monkeys tormenting cats but I have never seen one that is quite this extreme! Its definitely a love it or hate it item.... probably not one for cat lovers.
