Falconry "Priceless"

For our falconer friends, this design lists some of the costs of the sport/hobby/lifestyle/obsession -- and an experience that makes it all worthwhile! The text reads:
Apprenticeship: 2 years
Mews and weathering: $2500
Bells and bewits: $40
Hood: $85
Gauntlet: $90
Scale: $175
Annual permits and dues: $150
Jesses, leashes, whistle, lure, creance, etc.: $200
When they fly free and then return to you... PRICELESS!

The hawk in this design was painted by Hans Holbein in 1533 in a portrait of Robert Cheseman, who held the honorary position of grand falconer to Henry VIII.
