Description: A Tibetan antique inkpot made from clay is a fascinating piece of traditional craftsmanship, often reflecting the deep cultural and spiritual heritage of Tibet. These inkpots were typically used by monks, scholars, and scribes for writing sacred texts, scriptures, or creating intricate Buddhist paintings called thangkas.Clay inkpots from Tibet are usually small, compact, and practical. The clay is locally sourced, hand-shaped, and often fired in traditional kilns, giving the inkpot a rustic, earthy appearance. The surface might be unglazed or minimally decorated with simple motifs, showcasing Tibetan symbols or floral patterns. The color of the clay can range from a deep red-brown to lighter shades, depending on the type of clay and firing process used. This one is from late 19th century.
