Wax Tablet and Stylus
A wax tablet and stylus, used in ancient times as writing materials. Ptolemaîos would go on to treasure the wax tablet and stylus he received in school at Mieza for the remainder of his life.
Neither particularly extravagant nor imbued with Mystics, these are simple, practical tools. And that is why, from his conquests in the East to his time as pharaoh of Egypt, they gave him solace...for while he may never be able to return to those halcyon days, these simple tools always brought those times to mind.
