Decorative Description:
|
The front cover is a blind tooled multiple panel design. The outer border is a combination of three single line fillets, then a border of flowers in a square pot stamp repeated around the cover, then a rectangular stamp of a leafy scroll tooled around the cover creating another border. Next are several other panels created with double line fillets, the innermost filled with an indistinguishable decorative stamp. The back cover is similarly designed but with different decorative stamps. There is a covered half star burst stamp and an elaborate knot rope stamp (badly worn).
