Schreibzeug, Aufsatz, Mikroschnitzerei, Drechselarbeit, Holzarbeit

The
turned wooden writing set is constructed like a several-part centre building
with circle shaped ground plan. Inside there are two ink
wells and a blotting sand pot. Because of its fragility it was never
put to any practical use but has always been a showpiece.
