Initial Letter M
Description
Initial letter M 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 four lines, the left two lines are symmetrical to the right two. The rightmost line is flared at the bottom and extends vertically up with a slight tilt to the right. The next line is thicker and extends diagonally to the left to meet the first line at a point. These lines are mirrored on left side of the letter and they form a sharp point at the base of the letter. There are leaves, flowers, and vines behind the initial letter and spread out throughout the innermost box of the rectangle.
