The inkstand is a replica of the Quirinal Monument in Rome and was made to commemorate its erection during the pontificate of Pius VI. The composition includes an Egyptian obalisk, and four horse tamers that can be swung from their bases on levers to reveal an inkwell and a sandbox; Sphinxes' headdresses conceal candle sockets; one of the drawers contains an assortment of tromp l'oeil engravings; two doves can be made to kiss by means of a lever located in the fountain; the inkstand has a leather carrying case that resembles a medieval fortified town, with gates, battlements and a bell tower. — The Coaci Inkstand, 1792
