They were used for writing in ancient times. Metal points are typically used on a paper or parchment support, which has been covered by a ground. As the point moves across the ground, it leaves behind a thin layer of metal. The thin metal quickly oxidizes. For example, silver point becomes the brownish grey of tarnished silver and lead point becomes quite dark. Metal points are the predecessors of "pencils." puntera de metall punteras de metal 2026-03-30 20:53:23
