Likka Ink Tool – Arabic Calligraphy Ink Preparation

Likka is a traditional tool used to mix, dissolve, and control Arabic calligraphy ink before writing. It helps achieve a smooth, consistent ink texture, which is essential for stable flow and clean strokes. This tool is commonly used when preparing solid ink or thick liquid ink, allowing the calligrapher to adjust density and prevent uneven saturation on the nib. Simple in form and practical in use, Likka supports better ink control without altering the character of the ink itself. It is suitable for daily practice, professional work, and traditional calligraphy setups. No special maintenance is required. Rinse with clean water after use and allow it to dry naturally. A small tool, but a critical part of serious Arabic calligraphy practice.
