Medallion for the Past Bard of Cynagua. This is now the "Order of the Winged Harp" -- at the time I made the first five of these there was no actual award for bards who had done their time and stepped down. This is a design based on the "Current" Bard of Cynagua token, which has the wings up, rather than down. The optical illusion here is just that -- the harp is raised, but inlaid into the wings (which are cut into the silver). The angle the photograph was taken at, combined with the texture in the wings (caused by the acid I used for cleaning the brass) causes this effect. If you look at the photo at one point, the token looks the way it should, at another you get this weird optical illusion ... Artist: Hirsch von Henford
