Is this a BotNS illustration?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

What do you think? It doesn't really *look* like anything I remember from 
the book... but why else call the picture 'The Claw of the Conciliator'? 
The artist is Yoshitaka Amano, a renowned fantasy illustrator who 
collaborated with Neil Gaiman on 'Sandman: The Dream Hunters'. He seems to 
like doing random illustrations for fantasy stuff - there's some Elric 
illustrations on that website, too. Basically, high-calibre fan art. *g*

Anyway... if that is supposed to be a Wolfe illustration, then what do you 
suppose it's meant to be? Is this Severian? (Surely not!)

Hm.
