"The wrapper for these pages is genuine hand woven African mudcloth from Mali. Wisdom of the Ancestors was Xerox printed onto pages of Fox River Confetti Tan 80 pound cover, using typefaces Abadi MT Condensed and Amaze" -- Leaf [30]



Each of the 31 leaves has a hole punched through the upper left corner through which a small clipped chain runs that holds them all together. These leaves are then wrapped in a woven African mudcloth from Mali, and all of this is set inside of a small box that is decorated with an adhered piece of black cloth that has a small African mask surrounded by straw-like material on it
