This Jacques Herbin Egyptian writing set is a unique addition to your calligraphy collection, or an ideal gift for someone who has a passion for calligraphy.
Egyptians wrote hieroglyphics on papyrus thanks to calamus, a natural material still used today for Egyptian calligraphy, writing or drawing. The Arabic translation means "pencil".
The calame is known more frequently as a reed pen. It has a unique feel on the paper and a large ink reserve.
Papyrus is a paper-like material historically used in ancient Egypt and other Mediterranean civilizations. Made from the pith of the papyrus plant, papyrus paper provides a smooth writing surface which is often written on using reed pens and ink. The writing surface is very durable and many ancient papyrus documents have survived to the present day!
This set includes:
- 1 x reed pen (18cm)
- 1 x sheet of papyrus
- 1 x bottle of black ink (10ml)
- 1 x information booklet
