Initial Letter W

Description

Initial letter W is capitalized. The letter is framed within a double-lined square. The letter is white on a black background, the background is studded with white dots. The letter is composed of four diagonal lines. The left two lines are thicker than the right two. The left two extend down to the centre-bottom of the page, and here they each connect to their corresponding lines on the right side. Both sets of lines form a point where they meet. The right two lines extend up to the top right corner of the page. All four lines are flared at the top. There are leaves, flowers, and vines behind the initial letter and spread out throughout the innermost box of the rectangle.
