Mannata ... Manta Ray

I almost forget about the Sailor Creatures of the Deep series which I started last year. Let finished this series before starting the Sailor 2010 88 pieces.

The last posted was on the Sailor maki-e Sunfish back in January 2010. This is the 7/10 pen of the Sailor Creatures of the Deep fountain pens collection. Previously, we wrote about clown fish, Hammerhead Shark, Whales, Octopus, Pengiun and Sunfish.

Artisan Koushu Nishihara uses different gold colour tone to create a motion of waves forming on both cap and barrel.

One the cap, there is one big ray swiming away in gray colour. Artisan uses gold dust to paint the tail of the ray.

On the barrel, the mother and baby manta ray is swiming togather, reflecting the most beautiful relationship on earth. The eye of the ray was crafted using raden to giving it the living look.

Each pen is signed and numbered on the barrel of the fountain pen by the famous artisan Mr. Koushu Nishihara.
