This is a gold plated pen with acrylic white and gold swirls featuring an Ichthys pen clip.

More than just a Jesus fish on the bumper of the car, the Ichthys (same root as ichthyology) is arguably the second most important symbol in the Christian religion.  Early Christians used the fish as a secret code to identify meeting places, tombs, and even other Christians.  Legend has it that if an early Christian met a stranger, he or she could draw half of the Ichthys on the ground.  If the stranger completed the sketch, they would both know they were Christians.  There is much debate over why the fish was chosen as a Christian symbol, but fish do feature prominently in the Gospels.  Fishing is a common analogy; several of the Apostles are fishermen who become “fishers of men” and Jesus is able to feed five thousand with “five small loaves and two fish.”  source: https://thefisheriesblog.com/2014/04/21/finding-fish-in-faith/
