Delta Adivasi Limited Edition Fountain Pen
Delta continues its fascinating Indigenous People collection with a tribute to the Adivasi – descendants of the first inhabitants of India. Adivasi is a Hindi/Sanskrit term derived from
“adi” (original) and “vasi” (inhabitant). The Adivasi have never been part of the economic system – their activities in agriculture, animal husbandry and craft have always been exclusively for their own subsistence. With the onset of modern industry and discrimination against the tribes, many communities fled to inaccessible hill areas, where they could preserve their traditional way of life. The Adivasi pens are hand-turned from
bars of mother-of-pearl resins in bronze and green woven with red and ivory bands. Solid sterling silver accents include the rings on the cap and body engraved with prints typical of Adivasi garments, and the clip with a raised tribal sculpture, the Sarangi. The fountain pen is available in the Special Limited model with lever filling mechanism (857 pieces) or the Limited Edition model that uses cartridges or converter (1,857 pcs.). Both pens feature a flexible, 18K gold nib engraved with a tribal figure. A sterling silver convertible ball pen/rollerball is also available (1,857 pcs.).
