  • Heavenly!
    At long last a single pawn has made it to the sky.
    With delicate color and gentle form, except for a small bullet hole, this pawn has been awarded the wings to ascend.

    Rarely does this common soldier garner recognition.
    His surface has cracks of paint to remind us that he has been tested but has survived.
