SYRAX DRAGON SADDLE - HOUSE OF THE DRAGON

Syrax's saddle was the first of the black buck saddles, for Rhaenyra we wanted to give her a bad ass saddle, as she's a born rider, but it was crucial to make it still feel delicate in parts, the detailed fret work on the decorative back cantle and the stitching and detailed guilding in the front pommel. All of the saddles reference biomimicry in someway , through function and aesthetic. For Syrax I looked at baby bats and how they cling to there mothers.
