Sailor Wood Maki-e
Mandarin Duck
|
||||
 |
||||
| The Sailor Mandarin Duck is a more colorful and intensely figurative theme than either the Grape or the Plum. The male and female duck are clearly depicted on the wooden body of this pen. | ||||
 |
||||
| The water scene is completed with reeds and stylized ripples on the cap and more ripples on the barrel. | ||||
 |
A detail of the two Mandarin ducks is seen to the left. Note the inlaid (raden) piece of abalone for the male's eye. The ducks and the area surrounding them illustrate a variety of texture, as seen below. Smooth gold surfaces, raised surfaces and bits of gold are inlaid into the lacquer resin (urushi). |

| This pen comes in a softwood presentation box lined
with midnight blue velvet. The standard high quality Sailor converter
and two cartridges are included. We have the complete line of
Sailor cartridge ink for those on the go. This is a higher level of maki-e than that seen on the resin 1911 pen. |
