About MeThis inkwell is made from sheet silver; with its many angles and planes it is an early example of Michael Rowe's preference for geometric compositions. The piece is functional with two ink holders under the arched covers, also but has an architectural quality and shifting perspectives, elements which are evident in his later work.
