The overall design of this pen is inspired by the atlatl, an Aztec spear-throwing tool. The shape of the pen’s tail is refined with a “hammered optic” pattern, using the most delicate hammering. The lacquer colors on the barrel – turquoise and carmine – are inspired by the colors of royal robes. The lacquer inlays are inspired by traditional markings and decorations on the cap.
