Visual Description

A mounted knight in armor sits astride a rearing white horse, gripping a long, budding wand. The rider wears a red cloak and a feathered helmet, and the horse is adorned with green harness fittings and circular ornaments. A rocky, windswept landscape stretches below, and a smoking volcano erupts in the distance. The scene is framed by an ornate vine-like border.
