Blackwing Vol. 574 Native American Expressions Limited Edition Pencil (Single) by Blackwing

Single Blackwing Vol.574 limited edition pencil by Blackwing. Blackwing pencils are one of the most sought-after writing tools in the world. This limited edition is in a firm graphite with a copper ferrule. Made in Japan from renewable Californian incense-cedar.

The Blackwing 574 is a tribute to Native American art and the 574 nations that use it to assert agency and identity. Blackwing have worked with Kaw, Osage, Lakota artist Chris Pappan to design a pencil that evokes geometric patterns found throughout many Native American expressions of culture.

For centuries, the Indigenous people of North America have preserved their histories through art. As more and more Native Americans were displaced by westward-expanding colonialism, art became a vessel for preserving their culture as well as their history. Their daily lives were recorded through paintings, songs, stories, and dances. Native American art is both functional and beautiful, acting as a bridge to Indigenous cultures and offering a unique perspective on their history. These works enrich the lives of all Americans, providing a window into the world through Indigenous eyes.

Recommended for 3 Years+.
