Artifact Overview
Bookbinders use finishing tools to add decoration to the leather spine and covers of a book. The tools are often heated and then stamped, pressed, or rolled onto the leather. Decoration can be as simple as thin straight lines or rounded arcs, or as intricate as ornate patterns, scrolls, or floral designs.
