Baron's Award of Excellence for Dame Morwenna

Description

This was a little bit tough to initially scope out an artwork or design I wanted to do for Dame Morwenna. Being a peer and having an Order of Precedence that spans many Baronies within Altantia it was hard to find a suitable example that would fit in the category of "something she doesn't already have." I decided upon a from a page in "De materia medica", the original Greek version, written by Dioscorides. She has a considerable amount of interest and knowledge in the herbal A&S side that most people don't realize because she is infamously known for her chireogeoning duties which includes many joke/threats like "drink water or I will tell Morwenna". So I figured it would be a nice touch to drift away from the water and bandaid "themes" and make a pretty piece of art that is herbal/medicinal minded from an in period design. Luckily for me the original was founded in Greek, a subject I enjoy for calligraphy, and was used/translated/copied for many centuries. Image inspiration found here: [link]

I translated the English award text from the Baronial scribe's handbook into Greek using Google Translate. Below is the English text (in bold) followed by the Greek translation which only the latter is written on the award; line by line.

It is the works of its people by which a barony is judged,
Πρόκειται για τα έργα των ανθρώπων της, με την οποία μια βαρονία κρίνεται

and in which the baron may take pride.
και στην οποία ο βαρόνος μπορεί να υπερηφανεύεται

The Baron's Award of Excellence was created to recognize those works
Βραβείο του βαρόνου της αριστείας δημιουργήθηκε για να αναγνωρίσει τα έργα

which have been particularly pleasing to the baron
τα οποία έχουν ιδιαίτερα ευχάριστο να το βαρόνο

It is therefore my pleasure to bestow this award upon
Επομένως, είναι χαρά μου να παραχωρήσει αυτό το βραβείο μετά

Dame Morwenna Trevethan in recognition of her service to the Barony at Pennsic.
