A muscular merfolk man with dark bronze skin, long silver hair, and delicate translucent fins along his jaw sits on a rocky underwater ledge. He carefully opens an enormous oyster containing a glowing violet pearl. His expression is quietly delighted. He wears layered pearl necklaces, a dark blue woven sash, and ornate bronze arm cuffs. Behind him, coral gardens, drifting seaweed, ancient submerged columns, tiny fish, and shafts of sunlight fill the underwater landscape.
