Dynasty: Ming dynasty

Function: Stationery and stationery
Material: Plants/Ink/
Description:
Cylindrical ink, the surface of the die printing dragon rotates from the bottom to the top, and the dragon pattern is shallow convex, which makes the dragon’s sense of quantity more realistic. On the round planes at both ends of the ink, a pattern of wishful cloud like ganoderma grass is printed. The long pattern mark on the surface is roughly trimmed, and the regular script characters “The First Year of the Apocalypse” and “Made in Lu” are stenciled beside the pattern mark.
