Description from the seller
Babele We don’t ship to the US
Penna in Argento massiccio incisa interamente a mano.
The cap/knob represents the Tower of Babel (Ziggurat) while on the shaft the word “Babele” is engraved in various languages.
The work is very intricate; in addition to the engravings, the shaft is hand-enamelled by artisans, goldsmiths and enamellers, which requires skill in these crafts.
On the clip is depicted King Hammurabi, famous for enforcing the law of retaliation.

Seller's Story
All Urso Luxury collections are unique in style and craftsmanship. Rooted in Italian tradition, Urso Luxury is quite the opposite of today's mass production operations. Giuseppe, his brother Lucio and his son Riccardo are creators of most of Urso's designs. While the brand relies mostly on local artists and workshops, they are also working to incorporate the latest technologies collaborating with partners in other parts of the world. Urso Luxury's goal, however, is to continue to use the traditional Jewelery making methods, which are increasingly endangered in the industry, that make their thoughts so special and sought after.
It requires 100 operations, superb artistry, master craftsmen, and a lot of love in a week to produce an Urso Luxury pen. In today's mass-production Urso Luxury is the epitome of slow handmade designs, bringing the best local artisanal skills and techniques to produce world-class luxury accessories
