Description

Natural goatskin with purple Harmatan goatskin, a modified lacunose technique and stingray onlays. Marbled endsheets by Catherine Levine. The two interlocking circles are based on the vesica piscis. The purple ring symbolizes the spiritual with gilt stars, the flowering Holy Thorn tree represents the material world. On the spine, Excalibur bisects the interlocking shapes while the outer ring binds them as a whole.
