gemma-antiqua:

Byzantine gold ring with a Jerusalem cross, dating to the 11th to 12th centuries CE. 

From the source, Royal Athena Galleries:

The design originates with the coat of arms worn by Godfrey of Bouillon during the First Crusade, and it remained in use as the arms of the King of Jerusalem throughout their duration (1099–1291). The symbolism of the five-fold cross is variously given as the Five Wounds of Christ, Christ and the four quarters of the world, or Christ and the four evangelists.

Because I have no self control, I’ve retouched this picture yet again, and in doing so, realized I never really uploaded the finished full sized version to tumblr! 

Also, the super-duper high resolution version of this image is available on my Patreon!  🙂

I feel like as long as we’re celebrating Thû’s place on the bear–>wolf spectrum I should reblog this

IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR THÛ DURING PRIDE MONTH – Would you consider yourself a Bear or are you more of a Wolf?

You tell me.

I wasn’t planning on drawing any Silmarillion art tonight but the inspiration hit so I decided to sketch and post this before I head to bed (besides…its been some time since I drew Silm art</3). 

Hope I can work on this more once I develop their designs again!
