Indian Brass Ink Pot - 19th Century Wool Crafted from northern elm (yumu)This antique Indian brass ink pot is both simple and ornate, it would have been filled with inks made of plant resins with soot or mineral colours for writing. Ink pots just like this one are seen today as decorative antiques in homes and museums a memento of the past.
