: The head and torso of a dragon has been masterfully carved out of mahogany. Thousands upon thousands of tiny scales have been etched into the wood, giving it a lifelike appearance as the head curves down, baring teeth in a snarl and protecting what it is holding. The dragon's arms are extended to the front, its claws grasping a shield made out of ivory. On the front of the shield is red field with a gold border, and in the middle is a blooming silver rose. Hidden behind the shield is carved a phoenix carrying a rose.

;Enraptured Atavian Figurehead
; A soft blush gives life to the russet tones of this flawlessly carved, rosewood figurehead. The feminine curves of an Atavian woman rise up along the arc of the prow, her immense wings spread behind to embrace the hull. Arms outstretched, palms to the sky, an enraptured countenance envelopes an upturned face. Shattered steel shackles, the likely object of the ecstatic demeanour, dangle from delicate wrists to rattle feebly in the wind. Sapphire lacquer adds a gleaming touch of colour to flowing robes wrapped loosely around a toned body. Seated within the right hand, a meticulously hewn raven casts its ebon gaze out to sea.

;Sea-hardened, Skeletal Figurehead  
;Sea-hardened, Skeletal Figurehead  
Masterfully crafted from driftwood pieces, the massive bust of an intimidating skeleton is the focal point of this fully functional work of art. The hips and legs of the skeleton fade seamlessly into the prow of the ship, giving the impression of a rising manifestation of the ship's spirit. Clutched in the skeleton's gnarled hands are five symbolic skulls, each representing an inferior counterpart, from one silenced by a spear through its jaw to the charcoaled, oaken spikes protruding from the eye sockets of another. Carefully preserved with natural beeswax, the slightly darkened wood and soft shine lend the splintered, driftwood bones a still-decomposing look. As a final touch, hanging from the skeleton's neck on a crude, sea grass cord is a small, handsomely crafted sapphire falcon with extended wings.
