A large, detailed illustration depicts a dark brown eagle perched on the back of a white unicorn. The eagle is shown in profile facing right, holding a small golden cross in its beak. The unicorn is depicted in a leaping or rearing pose, also facing right, with a single spiraled horn and a flowing mane. The artwork uses fine lines for texture and watercolor-like washes for shading.
