label: Description
content: Inspectah Deck is out of focus in the background, visible from the chest up to the top of his nose; his head is tilted slightly so only his proper right eye is in the frame. In the foreground is his proper left hand holding a Wu-Tang Clan medallion, a pendant on the necklace he wears. The medallion is a bird in the shape of a W, with the same symbol punched out in a repeating vertical pattern on each wing.
