(A piece of animal skin stretched over a wooden frame, the surface scraped with a knife, stretched thin, and dried.)
The letters are beginning to fade due to aging, and the undulating appearance of the leather is very dignified.
Was it an important document at the time?
The design of the letters themselves is beautiful, with things like signatures, numbers, and year names written on them.
I would like you to experience the unique texture of the skin and the habits of the person who wrote it.
