A hand-drafted compass-construction study on aged cream vellum: two wobbled ink circles frame an N-pointed star whose slender kite points are shaded in translucent coloured pencil, split lengthwise into two hues that pool toward each tip. Inside, rings of nodes are woven by a dense near-complete graph of ink chords with faint octagram tracery, small translucent colour facets nestle between them (cool hues at the centre, warm further out), construction spokes overshoot the circles, prick dots mark every vertex, and a red asemic annotation floats in the annulus over a mottled, speckled paper ground.
