Some more bindings from the KBR collections.
A small book (a Book of Psalms) on vellum, bound in red velvet with a single silver clasp. The velvet is slightly torn showing a part of the thin wooden board. July holding the Psalm book from the previous photo, showing that it is tiny (smaller than the palm of her hand) with tiny script and tiny illuminations. An Ethiopian codex, sewn with a kettle stitch, showing writing in Ge'ez. A dark brown leather binding with a flap and panel stamps with renaissance motifs.
