Portrait item

When commissioning a portrait, a pirate may choose to hold a portrait item. Items are only available if the pirate meets the criteria necessary for it. Some items exist that can only be held by Ringers at this time. Although the items shown appear to be nearly identical for male and female pirates, there are some small differences in sizes and the way each sex holds items. The pictures on this page only show one or the other, but not both.
