For Kolfinna Hrafnkelsdottir

The Pyxis is a non-armigerous award given for putting forth great effort at researching, creating and maintaining a period persona and atmosphere. Therefore, I made this scroll to be a pair of temple rings, bearing the badge of the order, that would be period for the recipient.

Presented on 1/10/2015 at Nordskogen 40th Anniversary Twelfth Night Celebration
