The pen box in the first image was made in London in the 16th century by Bartholomew Newsum, clockmaker to Queen Elizabeth I. Today it holds 19 of its original 24 drawing instruments, all fabulously decorated. In the second picture is a 13th-century engraved brass pen box made in Mosul, northern Iraq. Its sides are decorated with twelve roundels containing personifications of the planets. It has a long section for pens, with smaller containers at one end for ink, sand (for blotting the ink) and threads (for cleaning the reed-pens). 🔎 Bartholomew Newsum (active 1558–1593), gilt brass box with set of drawing instruments. Copper alloy and gold, 1565–1575. 🔎 Engraved and inlaid brass pen box made in Mosul. Brass, copper and silver, 1230–1250. #stationery #pens」7月30日 20時00分
