This pagoda-shaped ink-well has a lid in the form of a tall spire. The hollow base of the spire fits over a nozzle at the mouth of the well below. A set of three pegs with perforations attached to the lid as well as to the well are meant to tie-up the former with the latter with a thin rope which also serves as a sling for hanging the ink-well on a wall after use to prevent spilling.
