Art Nouveau Antique Cast Figural Woman's profile Inkwell with Tray

Description

Art Nouveau antique brass or bronze or some other metal with an overlay layer, I am not sure, inkwell. It is figural with a really pretty woman's profile with flowers in her hair. It has floral and leaf accents, and a tray. Inkwell has the glass ink dish. Etched on the bottom CCN LXX, not sure what this means, perhaps the maker and a date. Condition issue is good...the hair that is the cover is broken at the hinge - see pictures, and some of the finish has peeled; it does sit flush where it is supposed to go, the well that the glass jar sits it in has wear and peeling metal and corrosion, inside rim of glass is rough with abrasions and dirt, metal has wear in spots, dirt, tarnish, verdigris, light wear elsewhere top and bottom of the piece that you can see, and dirt and I've not cleaned it but it is still a nice shelf piece. Please ask me questions and look at my pictures.
