Fountain Pen Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810 (F)

Crowned in 1440, Moctezuma I led the Aztec empire to its peak. During his reign, he shaped the image we know today, that of an empire of extreme cultural and mythological richness. His capital, Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City, became prosperous. Adorned with champagne-colored attributes, the Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810 writing instrument is dedicated to this great ruler who reigned over one of the most extraordinary civilizations in history. Its entire design evokes the atlatl used by the Aztecs to propel their spears over great distances.

The shape of the cone, with its finely hammered finish, echoes an Aztec sacrificial knife with an obsidian blade. The lacquer reflects the colors of the royal mantle, petroleum blue and carmine red. The cap features two hieroglyphs symbolizing the reign period of Moctezuma I. The handcrafted 18 K gold nib is decorated with a fine engraving inspired by the Aztec glyph of the city of Tenochtitlan: a three-branched cactus complemented by a royal diadem and two scrolls.
