A weathered iron crown half-buried in dark soil, viewed from

directly above as if looking down into an archaeological dig.

One corner of the crown catches a single dramatic shaft of light

from above, as if a torch has just been shone on it for the first

time in centuries. The soil around it is slightly disturbed,

revealing the edge of old stone beneath. Mood: discovery, quiet

deep earth tones, single warm amber light beam against dark

ground. Square format, centered composition, no text, no people.
