Hassan Kamel Kelisli Morali coat of arms, June 2012. Painted by Michael Shelkovenko after my sketch (my special thanks to Michael Y. Medvedev for his help to choose ‘the right helmet for the right arms’).

Ornamental details here are partly Egyptian and partly Circassian/Adyghean.

Great work!!

That is beautiful! I know Hassan must be very pleased.

Beautiful work!  Such intricate detail, especially on the helmet.

Oh wow!  This is breathtaking.  There is so much detail to see and the colors are so rich.  I love the shade of green that was chosen.  I think it’s time I start saving my money. 

The only problem of green tempera paints - their ‘resistance’ to be distributed evenly over surfaces larger than a dime-coin:) There’s no such problem with other paints.

Great work, indeed!

Absolutely exquisite!

Dittos!

(Also nice to see Hassan’s arms on-line again!)

Wonderful!

I like it all, including the pleasant, visibly handmade unevenness of the field Vert. But who could expect anything less impressive from Professor Shelkovenko! :D

Wow! wow! WOW! :D

This may be getting repetitive, but why not? - excellent!  I particularly like the diapering.

looks great

Love the helm.

beautiful beyond words!
