When British Egyptologist Howard Carter first discovered Tutankhamun‘s tomb in a hidden hollow in the Valley of the Kings on 4 November 1922, it changed the world of archaeology forever. Years and years of research and excavations had finally led to the discovery of the burial place of the legendary child pharaoh who ascended the throne at the tender age of nine. It was and still is the first intact royal tomb ever found and the spectacle that opened before the eyes of the archaeologists was unprecedented.
More than 5000 precious objects were discovered, including the famous funerary mask made of gold and lapis lazuli, which has become part of the collective imagination and is probably considered the most famous find of ancient Egypt. One cannot forget to mention the sarcophagus made of 110 kilos of gold and the myriad of statues, weapons, jewellery, gems, vases and beds.
One hundred years after this revolutionary discovery, we wanted to celebrate the fascination of the fascinating King Tut with the new Tutankhamun collection in a limited edition of just one hundred pieces per pen model. This collection, which features a fountain and rollerball pen, pays homage to an iconic character who has become the symbol of a millenary civilisation and has left his mark on art and history.
Our listing is for a Limited Edition Fountain Pen in a Fine Nib.
