A stern-armored knight with long dark hair sits astride an enormous grey squirrel perched on a rocky outcrop. He holds a tall green banner emblazoned with three golden acorn symbols in one hand and a round shield bearing a pentacle in the other. The sky behind him is cloudy and the landscape falls away beneath the rock. The animal wears a bridle and the knight's armor and posture convey readiness and steadiness.
