The base features a square, footed form decorated with ornate scrollwork and foliate motifs, with a central circular receptacle designed to hold an ink pot. The second item is a mid-century modern style horse-shaped nutcracker. It is constructed from a dark-stained wood or composite material and features an articulated head and neck mechanism. The figure is stylized with a smooth finish and a curved tail.
