Inkwell with Kufic and Naski Inscriptions Artist: Muhammad ibn Abu Sahl al-Harawi (Iranian, active ca. 1200) Medium: bronze, inlaid with silver and copper This inkwell is inscribed with invocations petitioning God’s graces for the owner. One reads: “With joy, divine grace, fortune, spiritual integrity, piety.” The sentiment of the inscribed prayers is appropriate for this ceremonial inkwell, which was likely used for writing official acts of state. -- source link
