Hung 10 September 2026, same walnut as Harbour Knit, ninth hook, landscape so the bay and the country both stay in the picture. Blue cataphract, gold in the seams, a gun in one hand and a lit barrel in the other. The ring behind it is the MMAC — Manor Mech Assembly Chamber — the gun beneath the Hidden Labs. Four figures on the platform for scale, because the machine is meant to be larger than a posting. Soft light beyond: the meadows, not a battlefield. Neuro is not in the seat. Accession MG.2026.009. The Works page holds the plate. This is the standing.
