Unveiled on what would have been Ty's 48th birthday, the image is adapted from a photograph. Anyone know what that crown-like object represents?

Site: Ty mural (1 memorial)

SW9, Valentia Place

Ty lived in Brixton for many years. This mural filled a previously empty wall under the railway line.  Sometime between August 2022 and July 2024 it was replaced with a new image of Ty.
