Mayan glyphs and Mesoamerican designs top the front cover with a Japanese greenman surrounded by freshwater pearls underneath.

The back cover has Celtic designs on top with Egyptian and Phoenician underneath.

I used random Mayan glyphs for this piece. Book measures 4" x 5"

 

 

 

The pages are various acid-free decorative papers chosen to enhance the ancient theme. The bamboo skewers were painted with gold Artist's Acrylics and waxed linen was threaded through ending in a braided design with freshwater pearls woven in the braid.
