Moses — provisional Legendary compact textile composition
This preview revises the selected v03 illustration with a narrower, tent-derived backing and a three-line verse setting. It is a composition candidate, not production assembly.

Governing idea
The outer frame uses narrow antique gold, lapis, ivory and tent-derived geometric bands. The upper-right plaque now reads as a sloped canopy rather than a chamfered royal plaque. The lower ivory backing enters beneath the curtain, then steps inward to form a compact woven screen. Burgundy, lapis, and restrained gold bands replace the centered lozenge flourish language used on David.
The attached burgundy curtain remains above the frame and backing. The backing no longer spans the unused lower-left bay: its visible edge follows the threshold transition, while the three-line verse expands across the usable textile field. Moses stays behind the backing.
The narrative verse is presented without quotation marks:
And there has not arisen a prophet since
in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD
knew face to face
Deuteronomy 34:10 • ESV
P052 Bold 700 renders MOSES at 138px. Sanctification P052 Medium 500 renders the verse at 72px with 104px baselines and the reference at 57px. Validation measures the actual verse ink between the upper textile band and the top of the reference.
Scope
Only the provisional Normal composition is rendered. The proposed printing behavior remains a hypothesis until this layout is accepted: Normal would use frame, backings, curtain, and text; Borderless would use backings, curtain, and text; Textless would use frame and curtain; Boundless would use the unmodified illustration.
No production printings, finish masks, text masks, harness fixtures, moving-light review, or final approval were created.
