Poems and Translations from the Ancient Celtic Bards

A gold-embossed heraldic-style emblem is centered on a dark, vertically-ribbed book cover. The central motif features a knight's helmet in profile, facing right, decorated with a stylized letter or scrollwork resembling a capital R. Above the helmet rests a lyre, which is topped by a royal crown. Behind these central elements are various crossed items, including a trumpet, a halberd, and another wind instrument. A tasseled scroll or banner hangs on the left side. The lower portion of the emblem is framed by a semi-circular wreath of roses and other botanical elements, such as thistles or clover. The corners of the book cover are decorated with faint floral scrollwork pressed directly into the material.
