This drawing shows fancy designs on a flat surface. There’s a shield with swirls and a crown on top. A broken spear leans against it. The lines are dark and precise, with some shading to make shapes pop. The artist used careful lines to show depth. The crown looks like it’s made of metal, but it’s just ink on paper.
