The drawing depicts a figure holding what could be a sword or simply their own hands in a moment of quiet solemnity. The bold blue and black lines create a vibrant atmosphere, perhaps reminiscent of the mysterious ancient sky of a forgotten era, or even capturing the emotional depth of the here and now.

Sketched this at the British Museum—a carved amethyst figure, hands (or sword?) held to the chest. It felt like an amulet. Ancient skies, quiet power. #art #drawing #museumsketch #BritishMuseum #amulet #SimonBurdgeArt
