This is my fourth order from this shop and the standard has not slipped once. The shading in Rakhsh Fights the Lion has a depth I never noticed in books. Our winters are long here and this has made the room feel a lot less bleak. I could not be happier with it.
This is the rare purchase that looks better in person than online. There is a life to Rakhsh Fights the Lion here that flat reproductions usually kill. My whole family has commented on it and they never notice anything. This is what buying online should feel like.
It looks like something out of a museum shop, in the best possible way. Every line in Rakhsh Fights the Lion is crisp, even in the busiest areas. Our apartment gets almost no light until noon and it still reads clearly. Worth every dollar and then some.
The colors read warmer in person and I actually prefer that. It brought Rakhsh Fights the Lion into the house at a price I could actually justify.
