A gold-armoured knight with a closed visored helm and an enormous red plume streaming sideways, holding a huge dark round shield with a sword raised diagonally across it. The word Excalibur in pale blue Gothic blackletter capitals spans the entire top of the glass. A pale castle turret with a spire peeks out at the right edge against an orange sunset sky. The palette is almost entirely warm — gold, orange, salmon and crimson — with the near-black shield the single dark mass.

| Kind | Description |
|---|---|
| Man | One armoured male knight, three-quarter view facing right, pale gold plate armour with segmented breastplate and large rounded pauldron, closed helmet with dark visor slit, enormous red-orange plume streaming left, holding a broad dark round shield with gold rim and raising a straight sword diagonally to the top right corner; no skin visible, expression hidden by the closed helm |
A painted, airbrushed medieval scene in warm sunset colours. Centre-left stands one armoured knight in three-quarter view facing right, clad in pale gold plate armour: a ridged breastplate with segmented abdominal lames, a large rounded pauldron on the near shoulder, and a closed helmet with a dark horizontal visor slit. A huge red-and-orange plume of hair or cloth streams from the helmet leftwards across the upper-left quadrant. He braces a broad, near-black round shield with a gold rim before his chest, and a straight double-edged sword blade runs diagonally from the shield up to the top right corner, its steel catching white highlights. Behind him the sky washes orange, salmon and dusty pink with streaked clouds; at the right edge a pale stone castle with a round turret and spire sits on a hill. The lower band is dark mottled rocky ground in brown and olive, with crumpled pinkish and crimson cloth shapes at bottom left and a bright red banner-like streak at bottom right. Across the top, the word Excalibur is lettered in Gothic blackletter capitals, pale icy blue with white highlights and a heavy dark outline.
