The oriental zodiac is the oldest in the world. Like western astrology, it divides all people into 12 personality types that are identified as animals. Eastern astrology is rooted firmly in the changing patterns of life on earth, the seasons, the weather, and of course, the complex Eastern philosophy. The foundations of Eastern wisdom are derived from Taoism, which perceives the universe as an eternal ebb and flow of the two principles of men and women, also known as yin and yang, represented by the sun and the moon. The pen in question, with a black marbled celluloid body with a hand-embellished silver overlay, depicts a lively rat among the vegetation in a unique combination of 3D art with a perfectly balanced nib. The two-tone 18-carat gold nib, platinum-plated, with Montegrappa s characteristic Greek border. Handmade ebonite feeder. M-point. Integrated piston loading system.
