The new Indigenous People 2025 inspired by the Simbu tribe of Papua New Guinea.

The pen is available in 3 different finishes:  silver , yellow gold and rose gold .

For all of them, the body and cap are made of special resin turned from a solid bar, decorated tone-on-tone with engravings of tribal designs of circles and spirals.

The frame that surrounds the pen's barrel is a unique piece, made of solid silver - rhodium-plated, or yellow gold-plated , or rose gold-plated - obtained through lost-wax casting and carefully finished by hand.
It simulates the rib cage of the human skeleton, with different front and back sides; just as the Simbu indigenous people paint their bodies to show the skeleton, so the Simbu pen is covered with a silver skeleton.

Simbu - the dancing skeletons

The ancient Simbu tribe, who live in a remote region of Papua New Guinea, are a people of warriors, farmers, and guardians of an ancient tradition that links earthly life to the spirit world.
One of the most distinctive aspects of their culture is the "Skeletal Dance," an ancient practice in which warriors paint their bodies to take on the appearance of skeletal spirits. This ritual was not only a means of intimidating enemies, but also a symbol of the connection between the living and their ancestors, a bridge between the visible and the invisible.

Indigenous People

From 2003 to 2015, Delta created 15 different collections in the Indigenous People series.
Each is dedicated to an indigenous population of the world, their customs and traditions. A highly successful series, it was revived in 2024 with the Sentinelese, followed today by the Simbu.
