Scroll Text - Zanetto da Como - Golden Mirror 2023

Kingdom of AEthelmearc - A&S Award

To Our most reverend and beloved Zanetto da Como we send warm greetings. We have long witnessed and have been told of your skill of costuming, cobblering, furniture making, and the making of a 14th century encampment that is the envy of all who has seen it. For these and for the beauteous garb that you wear upon your back that inspires others to do the same that here, upon the fields of Pennsic, We wish to repay you for the skill that your have shown to all. For many days We have pondered in the manner and method of repayment, for We wish this gift to be everlasting. In the end We would give to you this warrant to take to the Noble Order of the Golden Mirror so that you may take your place among them as just recognition of all you have done. And we pray that this reward will inspire you to go on upward to still greater heights in the realm of wearable art. So say We, Andreas King, and Kallista Queen.
