Antique Brass & Ram’s Horn Horse Inkwell

A striking antique equestrian inkwell crafted from natural ram’s horn and brass, featuring a finely modeled horse’s head and legs that transform the curved horn into a wonderfully sculptural form. The hinged horse-head top conceals the inkwell, while delicate reins add an especially charming touch of detail.

Both functional and decorative, this unusual piece makes a handsome addition to a desk, library, or collected vignette—perfect for lovers of equestrian antiques and old-world curiosities.
