Kuna People (Panama and Colombia)

The Kuna people are celebrated for their exquisite molas—multi-layered embroidered textiles that adorn their traditional clothing with colorful patterns inspired by nature, animals, and ancestral symbols. The Monteverde Kuna pen embodies the rich tapestry of their culture through a vibrant mix of red, gold, green, yellow, orange, and pink hand-mixed resin. Polished chrome trim and an engraved ring bearing the name “Kuna” complete this elegant tribute, highlighting the artistry and cultural heritage woven through generations of Kuna craftsmanship.

Huli People (Papua New Guinea)

From the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, the Huli people are famed for their striking traditional attire and colorful body painting. Their iconic red and yellow face paint—created from sacred ochre and clay—forms a vivid, empowering contrast, complemented by elaborate mushroom-shaped wigs adorned with feathers, fur, and plants. The Monteverde Huli pen mirrors this bold palette, featuring radiant yellow and red resin interlaced with dark blue accents inspired by the vibrant feathers of the traditional wigs. Enhanced with chrome trim and a black ring engraved with “Huli,” this pen reflects the power and magnificence of their culturalidentity.

Dogon People (Mali)

Perched high on the sandstone cliffs of the Bandiagara Plateau, the Dogon people of West Africa are renowned for their extraordinary cosmology, artistic mastery, and ceremonial traditions. Their villages and homes reflect a deep connection to duality and fertility, symbolized in their colorful masks and ritual dances. The Monteverde
Dogon pen draws inspiration from the vibrant costumes of the Dama dancers,
blending fuchsia pink, golden yellow, brown, and green hues in a custom
handmade resin. Accented with chrome trim and an engraved ring, this pen
captures the hypnotic beauty and cultural significance of the Dogon’s sacred ceremonies.
