Moctezuma I was crowned ruler of the great Aztec empire in 1440, thus beginning the Golden Age of the Aztecs. During his reign, Moctezuma I defined the image of the Aztec empire that we know today: a state rich in culture and mythology. The capital Tenochtitlán, today's Mexico City, flourished during his reign. Montblanc's Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810 with champagne-colored gold-finish details is dedicated to this great ruler of one of the most exceptional civilizations in history. The overall design is inspired by an atlatl, an Aztec harpoon-throwing tool. The shape of the cone, embellished with very fine hammering, is inspired by an Aztec sacrificial knife with an obsidian blade. The colors of the lacquer - petrol and carmine red - are inspired by the colors of the royal cloak. The two hieroglyphs decorating the cap symbolize the years of the reign of Moctezuma I. The nib handcrafted in solid Au 750 gold is adorned with a precious engraving inspired by the Aztec glyph for the city of Tenochtitlán: a three-armed cactus with a royal diadem and two ornamental spirals.
