Gilded pen holder of Tutankhamen
A unique container for extra writing reeds in the form of a palm column was included in a group of writing equipment found in the treasury room of king Tutankhamen. Made of gilded wood and elaborately decorated with chased designs and inlays of carnelian, obsidian and colored glass, it has an elegant palm-form capital and an ivory cap, stained red and held in place by a catch acting as pivot.
