Ancient Inkstands.

An inkstand that was probably in use
5, 5,400 years ago has been lately acquired
by a museum in Berlin. 1t is of Egyptian
make and is supposed to belong TO the
eighteenth or nineteenth dynasty, or
somewhere about 1866 B. c., although its
real age can only be Judged of approx
mately.
1t is made of wood and has two COM
partments, an upper c:e provided with
two holes, one for back and one for red
ink, and lower :ne for holding reed pens
The black and che red inks are certainties,
for some still remains in dry condition,
within the reoeptacles
Another ancient inkstand is supposed
to have been intended for the use of a
