Sepia-toned illustration on aged parchment showing Awang Sihah, a Bruneian warrior, standing at the prow of a traditional wooden boat during a storm. He holds a wavy-bladed kris in one hand and extends his other arm forward, guiding his crew through crashing waves and lightning-filled skies. Behind him, two warriors brace against the storm. In the distance, a pirate ship struggles in the tempest, with bound captives on deck and armed pirates nearby. The river is turbulent, and mangrove forests line the horizon. “OldFolktales.com” is inscribed in the bottom right corner.
