Cross® Cross Townsend 2020 Year Of The Rat Rollerball Pen

The Chinese Zodiac is based on a 12-year cycle, the time it takes Jupiter to travel around the sun. During the Han Dynasty (202BC-220AD) each Zodiac year was paired to an animal to represent the qualities of people born in that year. The Zodiac has played an important role in Chinese culture for over 2 millennia. Its animal symbols have been used in stories and folklore and are considered to be a window into your personality and foreteller of prospects in love, luck, relationships, and success.

2020 is the year of the rat, the first sign of the Chinese Zodiac. With this special-edition Cross Townsend and Savage pens, we celebrate those born under this Auspicious sign and their character traits of imagination, Intelligence, quick wit, and charm. Elaborate original artwork is etched into the translucent Blue finish and filled with 23Kt gold-plated inlays. A brilliant blue Swarovski Crystal is inset in the top.
