The Saturnian Kingdoms Converted into the Golden Age

A dark brown leather book cover features a decorative gold-tooled border. This border consists of three concentric rectangular frames. Stylized gold lily ornaments, known as fleur-de-lis, accent the corners of the innermost frame. To the left, the spine shows five raised bands that divide it into sections. Gold-tooled floral scrolls decorate each section. Faint gold lettering appears in the upper sections of the spine.

Fragmentary text visible on the spine:

PRAY original: "ORA", possibly a fragment of the title word "conversa", meaning converted

VA likely a fragment of the author's name, "Barma"

binding: the protective cover of a book.
leather: animal skin prepared for use as a cover.
gold-tooled: a decorative technique where gold leaf is pressed into the leather using heated metal stamps.
fleur-de-lis: a stylized lily flower used in heraldry and decoration.
spine: the edge of the book where the pages are gathered and joined.
raised bands: horizontal ridges on the spine created by the cords used to sew the book together.
