Visual Description
A crowned man in armor sits on a high throne, one hand gripping a long upright sword whose tip rests on a rock at his feet. He wears a cloak and a ring on his right hand; vertical striped pillars rise behind him. A green plant grows at the base of the throne on the right, and a decorative banner across the bottom reads "King of Swords." The scene is rendered in cool blues and purples with warm highlights on the throne and sword.
