Visual Description

A young white-haired figure in a white tunic with an orange sash strides or leaps up a grassy slope, barefoot, holding a long wand aloft. Seven other wands are planted upright in the ground behind him in a roughly diagonal row. Heavy, stormy clouds fill the sky and several forks of lightning strike the distant horizon over a yellow field. The wands have ornate, flared tops and the scene emphasizes motion and impending action.
