Kajira-kef_(alternate).svg‎ (SVG file, nominally 271 × 600 pixels, file size: 1 KB)

[edit] Summary

An alternative artistic rendition of the Kajira "kef" symbol (or "staff and fronds") of John Norman's science-fictional "Gor", based on a personal visual interpretation of the verbal descriptions in Norman's series of books (see Image:Kajira-kef.svg for further explanation). This version is not quite as accurate to all of the descriptions of the Kef symbol in the books, but it better depicts the decoratively floral and "open" aspects of the Kef fronds...

Modified version of Image:Kajira-kef.svg, converted from the following PostScript code:
