Fall of Nazarius

Kalin & Ivo's first entry into an international competition, this book is a manuscript on handmade paper, written with red ink and bound in crimson goatskin and silver gates, in which are set 12 rhodolite pink garnets. The doors open, revealing a gold design on the leather below. Additional tooling and clasps decorate the book further. The title is a tribute to author Emilian Stanev and his story about Nazarius.
