The image shows an antique bronze inkwell on display in a glass case. The inkwell is oval-shaped and has a lid with a handle on top. The lid is decorated with intricate carvings of two figures, one on each side. The figures appear to be a man and a woman, with the man lying on his back and the woman sitting on his knees. The man is holding a book in his hands and appears to be engrossed in reading. The woman is lying on her back with her head resting on the man's lap.

On the right side of the inkwell, there is a small, ornate base with a curved design. The base is also decorated with a floral pattern and has two small figures on either side. On the left side, there are two smaller figures, possibly a bird or a bird-like figure. The background of the image is blurred, but it seems to be an indoor space with other artifacts visible.
