Description from the seller
Babel
Pen in solid sterling silver, engraved entirely by hand.
The cap represents the Tower of Babel (Ziggurat) while on the body the word “Babele” is engraved in various languages.
The work is very complex: in addition to the engravings, the body is handcrafted and hand-enamelled by skilled goldsmiths and enamellers, which requires expertise in these techniques.
On the clip is depicted King Hammurabi, famous for applying 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
