Most wolf imagery reaches for menace. This one does not, and it is drawing on the older tradition.
Across a great many cultures the wolf is a teacher before it is a threat. Native American traditions repeatedly cast it as a guide and a brother. Norse myth gives Odin, a god of knowledge rather than war, two wolves at his own table and feeds them everything he has. The animal that Europe spent centuries exterminating was elsewhere the one you learned from.
Ferocity is the recent reading, and it belongs mostly to the people who were competing with wolves for livestock.
The treatment matches the idea: a single head and shoulders portrait, turned three quarters towards you, ears up, mouth closed, nothing snarling. Brown and grey through the face with a warm tan ruff lit from one side, amber eyes, and a dark sky flecked with stars behind. It is one of the easier prints in this range to carry into any situation, which matters on a bag you have out every day.
Phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small bottle and a paperback.
17 x 6 x 23 cm, Oxford fabric and black nylon, adjustable strap, strong zips. Water resistant rather than fully waterproof, since the zips and seams are not sealed.
