Box
This silver book with rounded corners, has an invisible hinge on the top cover. It is engraved in a basketweave pattern on both covers. The spine has faint indications of transverse lines, in imitation of book spine bands. The edges are lightly engraved with parallel lines, to appear as pages. -- description by Mindell Dubansky in consultation with Lynn Heckman
