★★★★★ The wooden pull-down frame is handcrafted from 200-year-old oak, featuring iron hangers and a rusty iron plate inscribed with the ancient Latin phrase "HIC SVNT DRACONES," translating to "HERE BE MONSTERS" or "THERE BE DRAGONS." This phrase symbolizes uncharted territories, echoing a historical practice of illustrating mythological creatures in unknown map regions.
