Harpy Wing Device preview
Mythic Beasts£0.99

Harpy Wing Device

Harpies arrive suddenly and take things away. Ancient Greek scenes of the creatures carrying off Phineus's food give this isolated wing a sharper meaning: swift disruption, unavoidable consequence and the unsettling power of forces that cannot be held.
