Hi Caleb,
Really nice shading! I’m not a scribe, but I recognize clear, smooth drawing and consistent work.
Your piece looks remarkably close to the original, other than that your gold doesn’t look quite as shiny.
Nice, clearly written documentation, very understandable for a nonscribe. Oh, and I’ve heard several scribal Laurels say that tracing is period, so I don’t think you need to excuse or apologize for doing so.
Thanks for entering this, Katja
Caleb
Thank you.
