Released in 2006, The Stars of Egypt Limited Edition is a masterpiece tribute to the early astronomers of ancient Egypt, rendered in very deeply engraved .925 sterling silver. The pen has the look and feel of a found object, covered in the imagery of astronomy and Egyptian culture. These were the pyramid builders who used the stars and the Sun to align their temples and pyramids to the four cardinal points of the compass. These early astronomers also developed the 24-hour day, and the 365 day calendar, with 12 months of 30 days each followed by 5 additional days to balance with the solar year.
