Лот 59:
A large elliptical brass pen box, inlaid with silver, with functioning clasps, originating from Syria. The inlay on the exterior, interior, and lid of the box accentuates a leafy vine motif; interwoven with Farsi script. The clasps and hinges integrate this same motif blending the pieces into the box as a whole. The interior is fitted with two large compartments (one with a hinged lid) used to store writing implements and materials. It also has two spherical ink containers that can be removed from the box entirely.
