Two deer face each other across a vertical sword or staff crowned with ornamental finials, their bodies rendered in golden thread against a deep terracotta ground. The composition draws from classical tapestry traditions, with delicate floral motifs and scrolling vines framing the central pair in a symmetrical, heraldic arrangement that suggests both nobility and natural harmony. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
