Presented is an interesting Turkish brass quill and inkwell case, likely made in the 1800s for a traveling scribe. This piece has wonderful hand engravings all throughout the exterior. The piece displays posed figures and stylized writing along both sides of the quill case.
The case is in great overall condition, especially considering age. There seems to be a signature mark on the side but it is stamped over the engraved decorations and hard to make out. The copper pin hinge works well and both lids close well. There are no breaks and no repairs.
Measurements: 3 1/2 inches from the back hinge to the end of the inkwell 9 3/4 inches long 2 inches wide -kc
