Visual Summary

Brief Description

A dark, rectangular book cover with an intricate geometric and floral pattern in black and white

Detailed Description

A black and white image displays a vertically oriented, dark-colored book cover. The cover is rectangular, appearing slightly wider at the bottom, and exhibits a textured surface with visible cracks and wear. The top edge is slightly uneven, with a small, light-colored loop or string visible at the very top center. A prominent, large rectangular panel is centered on the cover. This panel consists of a border and an inner field. The border is filled with a repeating grid pattern of small, four-petaled floral motifs. The inner field of the panel features a more open arrangement of similar four-petaled floral motifs, with some areas appearing as solid dark rectangles. Specifically, there are three horizontal rows of these larger floral motifs within the inner field, each row containing three motifs. The patterned areas appear lighter than the surrounding plain cover, creating a visual contrast. The bottom edge of the book reveals white pages, which are slightly protruding and uneven. A small, dark, irregular object is visible beneath the bottom center of the book.
