A one-of-a-kind 1941 R.A.A.F. Inkwell
This limited edition remarkable piece of WW2 Australian military history. This inkwell was only made to be gifted on behalf of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and made from a combination of steel and a form of black stone possibly Black Onyx.
It features an elephant figure with an upraised trunk, symbolising strength and good luck. The use of Onyx as a shield against negative energy and destructive forces dates back centuries.
This elegant inkwell would have been a significant gift, no doubt made for an important dignitary, politician or serviceman. It is a valuable reminder of that era's historical significance and craftsmanship.
Measurements: 210mm Long x 105mm Wide x 90mm High.
