A crown, scrawled in electric blue, ought to signal authority - Jam's line clearly knows the vocabulary, coronation motifs carry real weight in the wrong hands too. But the vertical stroke beneath it drops away rather than plants itself, and a horizontal line cuts straight through the middle of the composition like a line struck through a sentence. The kingdom, whatever it was, does not survive to the bottom of the page.
