MONTEGRAPPA LIMITED SOPHIA STERLING FOUNTAIN PEN

Montegrappa dedicates this Sophia Limited Edition to writing. This pen celebrates the role of writing as a means of transmitting knowledge (in Greek, ³sophia²) and the development of human thought. An image of the Rosetta Stone is found on the cap and symbols of Egyptian civilization decorate the cap: samples of hieroglyphics and demotic writing, the sphinx, the pyramids and a representation of Thot, the god of knowledge to whom the Egyptians attributed the invention of writing. The barrel of the pen shows an example of Greek writing and a detail of Raphael¹s famous fresco ³The School of Athens² in which Aristotle, Plato and Pythagoras can be seen. Some of the 4,000 characters that represent all the alphabets in the world are inscribed on the barrel of the Sophia Limited Edition. The cap and barrel, made of sterling silver, are decorated using the exclusive technique of burin engraving, with applications of yellow gold and pink gold, which add relief and magnificence to the details.

Each pen comes packaged in a precious box inspired by the shape of a book. Celebrate writing and the pursuit of knowledge with this magnificent Limited Edition pen from the masters at Montegrappa.
