Product Details
Experience the world of ancient Rome with this Roman Wax Tablet and Brass Stylus, a faithful reproduction of one of the earliest reusable writing tools. Widely used by scholars, merchants, and statesmen, wax tablets offered a practical and eco-conscious way to record notes, letters, or accounts, designed to be written on, erased, and reused time and again.
The wooden tablet provides a durable and authentic surface, while the included engraved brass stylus captures the elegance of Roman craftsmanship. Its pointed end allows you to etch words or sketches into the wax, while the flat reverse side smooths the surface clean, ready for reuse. This dual function ensures both practicality and a tactile, immersive writing experience.
Compact and portable, this tablet makes a unique and functional accessory for reenactments, LARP, SCA, classroom learning, or historical décor. Its eco-friendly design also appeals to modern creatives who value sustainability, offering an alternative to disposable notebooks while embracing the artistry of the past.
Avoid extreme heat or direct sunlight to prevent warping of wood or softening of wax and clean the stylus after use. If the wax surface wears out over time, it can be easily refreshed by adding a thin new wax layer.
Each tablet is handcrafted, so minor variations in wood grain, wax surface, or brass stylus detailing are natural and part of its authenticity.
Tablet comes pre-prepared for use but can be re-waxed if desired.
Price includes tracked shipping within New Zealand.
