Hello everyone,
A friend at work brought this to show me. It's a small marble bible. It's scarcely 3" at the longest and 3/4" at the thickest. According to her, it was found in a field on an acreage.. It has some paint left on the page edging...is gold with black lines to indicate pages. There is some paint to suggest a decorative binding...you can see that in the photo a little. I can tell that there was paint on the front cover, because there are very small specks at close observation...but you can't see that in the crappy phone images here. There isn't enough to indicate what sort of book it was intended, but, it's probably a Holy Bible.
I would appreciate any info anyone might have as far as how old this might be...or who made these and in what era, from what country or whatever. I am not sure if it was intended to just be a conversation piece...or a paper weight or what or if it was attached to some other votive statuary of some sort.
Again, any input will be appreciated. Thank you!
