Description

Book structure is box-like with multiple hard covers, which expand out from the bottom of the box in four directions. Inside the wine-colored book, cloth attaches the pattern paper covered hard covers to the box bottom. Black smooth rocks are loose inside the box. A separate hard, yet loose cover, with a silver title and artist name lifts off completely from the closed box-book. The clam style box is covered in tan linen with two different paper patterns on the edges inside and out. One black oval stone is attached to the box centered cover with brass wire. Made in 1998.
