4 November 2022 marks 100 years since the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in Egypt’s Valley of the Gods. Revealed to the public on 30 January 1923, the riches discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter captivated the world, sparking a wave of popular interest in ancient civilizations that continues to this day.

Montegrappa’s Tutankhamun memorializes Carter’s discovery through its most enduring image: the pharaoh’s extraordinary solid-gold death mask. Recognized as one of the world’s most celebrated treasures, this centennial edition emulates the original with black diamond inlays and hand-enameling on caps sculpted in vermeil. Please note, the mask’s plaited beard is not designed to serve as a clip.

Beneath the cap, a sculpted barrel offers a stylized representation of Tutankhamun’s mummy. Realized in sterling silver, its aged effect is achieved organically with cataphoretic coating. Grip sections and blind caps are made from vermeil. Fountain pens are cartridge/converter and are fitted with a 6mm, 18K gold nib customized with a hieroglyphic representation of ‘Montegrappa’ – previously featured on Thoth (Ancient Civilizations, 2017). Choose from nib sizes EF, F, M, B or Stub 1.1. We have a medium nib in stock today, other nib choices arrive in 14 days from ordering.

Elaborate custom packaging revisits the scene of Carter’s epic discovery – reconstructing the pharaoh’s burial chamber in a diorama showcase with three nested coffins at its center. As you remove Tutankhamun from its gilded coffin, you certainly will feel a sense of play and discovery.
