Art Exhibition: Etyries Goodears

This is a departure from the blog's usual format, which the translator hopes will be acceptable to the audience. Rather than being more translations directly from Mianmo, this is one of the translator's original works, as she has been tapped to provide a blurb for Seven Mothers, Seven Moons, Seven Wanes: How the Lunars Conceptualized their Past. The translator's work on The Lost Book of Etyries Goodears came to the notice of the curator in charge of the exhibition, and thus came about this commissioned piece describing a gorgeous Seventh Wane icon painting of Etyries Goodears herself.

This icon was recovered from the excavation of the Trader Temple in Furthest. Enough of the original pigments remained that professional conservator-restorer Katrin Dirim was able to recreate the icon painting as it existed during the Late Heortling period. Despite being an icon painting, which were usually modestly sized, this depiction of Etyries Goodears was set into an alcove in the Trader Temple, taking up the upper two-thirds of the alcove.
