@caitlinrgreen Is there any significance in the color of the stone used for the bust? Or has is discolored over time?
@operatoday It's deliberate; it's a nicolo intaglio carved from onyx to produce that effect :)
@caitlinrgreen What was the use of onyx intended to connote? Does it relate to the medieval setting's "Sigiillvm Secreti" in any respect?
@caitlinrgreen Stated differently, does this choice of material have any significance under post-colonial analysis?
