Frontal wingspan with prey held beneath
READING THE COIN
The final coin stops the lateral sequence and faces the viewer. Symmetrical wings occupy the full width, the horn-like ear tufts sharpen the central silhouette and the prey sits directly below the body.
The eyes form the composition's fixed centre. Feather bands radiate outward to both rims, while the talons and prey break the symmetry at the bottom. Damstra's initials appear left of the body.
