Bearded Seer with Feathered Skull Headdress

Description

Bold illustrative portrait of a bearded seer wearing an animal skull and layered feather headdress. Heavy blackwork lines and dotwork shading give texture to the beard and feathers. The skull evokes mortality while the feathers/raven-like motif suggests wisdom, prophecy and Norse mythic associations. Suited to a larger canvas such as the thigh.
