Larry Elmore's version of Kallijas

He appears on the cover of Lion's Soul, but Larry didn't know he's a southpaw, so I just flipped the image to get his sword in his sword-hand, which is really his shield-hand, and his shield in his shield-hand, which is really his sword-hand, rather than the sword being in his shield-hand, which is really his sword-hand and his shield in his sword-hand, which is really... sheesh, why don't Fifth Millennium people just say "left" and "right" like normal people?
