## Description

Even books deserve some opulence! These handmade and crafted bookends are 6 x 8 inches at the base and 9 inches tall. Each bookend is ornamented with a 6 x 6 wooden center featuring a 12th century Norman - Sicilian arabesque design featuring griffins. This medieval motif originates from the woven textile border of royal vestments tailored for William II in 1181 in Sicily. The griffin was a common medieval motif used in several materials for artistic purposes and the design in this textile, made in Norman Sicily, followed the principles of the arabesque. Such textiles and art were very popular in the cosmopolitan hub of Norman Sicily and Palermo. We have brought this beautiful historic design to these bookends in order to bring that historic elegance of medieval Sicily to your home or office space. This set of handcrafted bookends is a perfect gift for a historian, student, bibliophile, teacher, or academic. They will instantly bring beauty and sophistication to any desktop or shelf in your home or office. Technique: pyrography; Size: 6 x 8 in. (base); 9 in. (height); (6 x 6 inches) center piece; Stain: Ipswich pine; Finish: Polyurethane.
