Sailor Sumer Limited Editions (388 Pieces Worldwide) |
|
|
The origin of an ancient script is one of the clues to understanding the history of past civilizations. The changing appearances and varying shapes of the characters show the development of ancient civilizations. The cuneiform writing system was developed from the Sumerian language. Lasting several centuries, it was used for many languages - each different in structure and often geographically separated - for example the Akkadian and the Eblaite (both Semitic languages). Importantly it contributes to the formation of various alphabets of the World including Arabic and Hebrew. ‘Sumerian cuneiform Script’ is thought to be the oldest script originally used to record commercial activities on tablets of clay by the Sumer - one of the earliest known civilizations in South Mesopotamia more than 5000 years ago. The script was recorded by pressing stamps against clay tablets. Following ‘The Pharaohs’ and ‘HANZI’, Sailor Pen is proud to present “SUMER” fountain pen made in sterling silver– only 388 pieces worldwide. The cap is designed with a cylindrical impression from about 3000 BC and an engraving of Ur-Nammu a significant ruler around 2100 BC. The barrel is engraved with part of the law code of Hammurabi (ca. 1792-1750 BC) who was a king of ancient Babylon. The ‘Naginata Togi’ nib fitted to this pen is solid 21K gold with rhodium plating specially produced by nib master Nobuyoshi Nagahara. Types: Fountain Pen. |

Sailor Hanzi Limited Editions (388 Pieces Worldwide) |
|
|
The origins and the historical use and development of ‘Ancient Scripts’ is important to understanding the civilisations of the present day. Following the hieroglyphic script presentation of ‘The Pharaohs’ Sailor are proud to present the latest edition in this series – “Hanzi”. These original Ancient Chinese characters originated from the very famous ‘Oracle bone script’ which is the claimed origin of the Ancient Chinese ‘Hanzi’ characters ( Kanji in Japanese). ‘Oracle bone script’ originates in the Yin Chinese dynasty dating back almost 4800 years and is the oldest recorded Ancient Chinese characters. The script was hand carved onto animal bones or turtle shells. The characters developed from a form of hieroglyphic symbols and recorded at the time the important events. They were used in ‘divinations’ by wise men of the period by boiling the bones or shells in water and interpreting the cracks that appeared. Hence the term ‘Oracle bone script’. These original ‘Hanzi’ Chinese scripts were then later also recorded onto bronze tripods and plates to honour and praise the Gods of Heaven, ministers and aristocrats of the time. This was known as Bronze Script. It is a very well rounded script. One of the most famous Bronze scripts on a bronze tripod – ‘Mao Gong Ding’ recorded the achievements of Duke Mao. This special Limited Edition fountain pen from Sailor is uniquely etched with the original record of ‘Hanzi’ ‘Oracle bone script’ characters from this bronze. The pen is in 925 Sterling Silver with Rhodium plated accents and the legendary Sailor ‘Naginata Togi’ nib in various nib grades. We are sure you will enjoy this special writing instrument. ‘Oracle bone script’ (cap) in Kanzi The cap depicts a number of divinations (predictions) made by the fortune tellers (wise men or Oracles) of the time. The stories illustrated are of good and bad fortune and include predicted curses and the resulting sacrifices to the Gods by the Kings. These divinations were originally carved onto the animal bones and were taken extremely seriously. Bronze Script ( barrel inscription) in Kanzi One of the most famous Bronze scripts– the ‘Mao Gong Ding’ was made in the Zhou Chinese dynasty. It is the longest ancient ‘bone script’ inscription cast onto a bronze tripod and it has 32 lines and 497 characters. The story tells of the great achievements of the rulers and politicians of the time. The inscription has 7 columns and it says: ‘When King Xuan of Zhou succeeded to the throne - he entrusted Duke Mao with the political responsibilities and revival of the nations prosperity. The King praises him because Duke Mao served diligently without any self-benefit. Duke Mao commissioned the brass tripod to pass his achievements down to his descendants. Types: Fountain Pen. |
