Initial Letter F
Description
Initial letter F is capitalized. The letter is framed within a double-lined square. The letter is white on a black background, the background is studded with white dots. The letter Is composed of one vertical line on the left side and two horizontal lines extending to the right from it. The vertical line is thicker and flares out at the bottom, it flares out at the top as well but only on the left side. The first horizontal line extends out from the top of the letter, it hooks downwards at its right end. It is the thinner than the vertical line. The other horizontal line is halfway down the letter. It is the same thickness as the first horizontal line, and it flares out in both directions vertically. There are leaves, flowers, and vines behind the initial letter and spread out throughout the innermost box of the square. A grotesque head, emerging from a foliated arabesque, faces right in profile in the upper quadrant.
