The story of Penelope's Canvas
The guilloché engraving of this ballpoint pen depicts a pattern used in the weaving of fabrics: an intricate, complex weave that takes skill and dedication to craft.
The pattern takes its name from Penelope, the wife of Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey, who wove a linen cloth during her husband's absence. The fabric is thus associated with patience, perseverance and waiting.
For lovers of Homer and Greek myth, or for someone awaiting the return of a loved one.
