Austrian Cold Painted Bronze Dog & Kennel Inkwell & Pen Holder

This is an Austrian Bergman style Victorian era cold painted bronze. It is in the form of a dog & kennel inkwell with a pen or quill holder. It is 12.7cm long by 8.5cm wide by 10cm high and weighs 1.2kms. The inkwell insert is missing. As this is more likely to be a decorative item for the collector in writing equipment rather than to be used, it does not detract from it's appearance as it is under the roof of the kennel.
