Visual Description
A crowned figure stands waist-deep in water, arms raised as a ring of flowing fish and liquid swirls around them and arcs upward into a comet-like stream of falling fish against a starry black sky. A small crown hovers above the figure's head and a sinuous mark or wave is painted on the back of their head. The water surface below reflects scattered spots of color while tiny stars and fish-like shapes dot the background. At the bottom of the image the title reads 'King of Chalices' in stylized letters.
