Hebrew Pelican

This is a Pelican scroll done for a good friend who is now out of kingdom but asked me to do her scroll. I was very happy to be able to do this for her. (I am a terrible calligrapher but had a deadline). Based on the Rothschild Mahor, ornamental page, rules for Rosh Ha-Shanah, fol.226v. Florence 1492.This is 11 x 15, Micron pens, Acrylic, Gold leaf on Velum. (Gold leaf reacts odd to flash and that is why there are black areas in the gold. It is just a lighting effect.)
