A very substantial piece of work that you will see and feel as soon as you hold it in your hands. On the outside it almost looks like worn leather, on the inside as if a master craftsman sculptured each petal. The width form is pretty straight but the sides' curvatures takes this design to a new level, with its curves. It feels like a piece of fall, from its design to its color. It's truly beautiful.
