"The Runic Sword or The First Knight" by a Swedish lyric poet Karl August NICANDER and N. H. THOMSON as editor. The cover is decorated on the front with a full-page glass and metal beadwork representing a blue and silver central octagon with golden-colored initials "A.M." surrounded with a scrolled frame formed by golden, silver and brown beads. The composition is completed with a flower motif on four corners of the book. On the back, the identical beadwork, but with a bunch of roses instead of letters. Inside, the leather cover is stamped with a vegetable motif. The book was published in 1835, but the cover was probably ordered later by the book possessor.Materials
