| Reverse description | A highly detailed multi-layered composition inspired by the novel 'Baptism of Fire' from Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher book series. The central scene depicts a trial by fire narrative: a cauldron suspended over flames occupies the middle ground, with a hand reaching toward a glowing horseshoe above, and a white horse rendered in relief behind. A large reclining cat in chains dominates the lower centre field, and a snarling feline-beast medallion appears at the bottom. To the right, a prominently rendered broadsword with detailed hilt and runic inscriptions along the blade occupies the full height of the field. The entire composition is framed by dense interlaced Celtic-style scrollwork incorporating fantastical creatures, rendered in antiqued high relief. |
