The Met Cloisters Garden Ballpoint Pen*The Met Store Cheap

$20

The perfect Met Museum souvenir.

The lush flowers on this artful rollerball pen are borrowed from the Master of Claude de France’s spectacular book (ca. 1510–1515) at The Met Cloisters, which belongs to what’s been called “the last flowering” of northern European manuscript illumination in the medieval tradition. The French artist immortalized garden variety flora, from the blackberry to the marigold, in witness to their beauty. Each of the flowers in this magnificent manuscript can be found in the gardens at The Cloisters.
