Retro 51 Tornado Smithsonian Special Edition Raven Steals the Sun - Rollerball

RAVEN STEALS THE SUN by James Peter Johnson, an award-winning Tlingit artist and carver, born and raised in Juneau, Alaska. He belongs to the Tlingit Eagle Killerwhale clan. His strong ancestral history in Alaska led him to pursue the Tlingit art form. His late father, Franklin Johnson, first encouraged him to begin carving. Johnson has dedicated his life to continuing the Tlingit art form, honoring his ancestors through his work. The pen design portrays the traditional Tlingit origin story of a Raven bringing light into the world. Each Tornado has this Tlingit artwork silkscreened on the stainless barrel, varnished in a matte clear coating and finished with antique silver accents. The Smithsonian top ring is engraved with its individual number and then complete with the sun logo on the finial. Each rollerball is packaged in a commemorative tube with the Raven*s origin story on the label.
