A vertically oriented copper plate glows with warm, metallic tones, featuring an intricate etching of St. George atop a rearing horse. Facing left, he thrusts a long spear into a snarling dragon, while a skull and scattered bones ground the scene. Large, diagonal score marks slash across the plate, creating a stark geometric overlay. Ghostly, skeletal trees rise in the background, and small, detailed flora sprouts from the lower right corner.
