Omar's Emblem, Illustration for Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
A bird perches on a skull amid swirling bands of pale grey and brown, with scattered white petals drifting around the edge. A banner at top reads Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, and a fallen rose lies at lower right. The drawing is rendered in chalk, pencil and ink on tinted paper.
