[Steppes] Insignia

[Michelle Dodd]

Anyone wanting to see a one of a kind acorn, should ask to see the one made for HL Elin the Timid. If you were at 12th Night you may remember it as an A&S entry for the lady who made it, Lady Aurellia (sp). It is a HUGE real acorn that has been decorated with seed pearls and other beads. If I remember correctly, Elin received the acorn at the same event she joined the Order of the Oak. 
 
I haven't see a Grice "Print", but I do know that the Steppes Grice is a young wild pig which is gold with black "fur" markings. I have seen banners with the Grice passant (standing) & with it in the rampant (on it's hind legs) position.
