About the Item

A quirky little ink well in the form of a parrot/parakeet, turned wooden caucus with applied beak, glass eyes and hand dyed feathers. The top section hinged to reveal the inkwell with its original glass liner, plenty of ink stains to the wooden interior along with a markers mark that I'm unable to decipher, loses to feathered exterior.
