Venerated in the East, demonized in the West: the snake is one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in global symbolism. Montegrappa celebrates its evocative power with Extra Year of the Snake, an extraordinary limited edition that merges Italian craftsmanship with Eastern philosophy in a single writing instrument.
In Chinese astrology, the snake symbolizes wisdom, cunning, and transformation. Its need to shed its skin becomes an allegory of rebirth, personal growth, and new beginnings. “Rewrite your story” is the message that accompanies this exceptional fountain pen.
The grip section, made of Juma® “Green Mamba” resin with emerald-like veins and a bio-inspired look, is paired with a sterling silver body engraved 360° with a sophisticated Infinity pattern. This multi-axis technique carves each sinuous line with varying depths to evoke the movement and mystery of the snake.
The result is a magnetic, charismatic, and powerful object, adorned with set emeralds and finished with a satin and oxidation treatment that enhances its natural patina.
The fountain pen features a high-precision piston filling system and an exclusive 18k gold “crazy eye” nib, designed to deliver a truly unique writing experience.
Produced in a limited edition of 289 numbered pieces—a tribute to the lucky numbers 2, 8, and 9—Extra Year of the Snake is the perfect union of technique, artistry, and symbolism.
