This binding features the “Seven (Silver) Rings for the Dwarf-lords”, within “Three (Gold) Rings for the Elven-kings”, surrounded by “Nine (Red) Rings for Mortal Men”, encompassed by the “One Ring” (Gold) “to rule them all”. Wonderful symbology, and beautiful execution to form the gilt design for the front boards of each book. Top edges of the pages stained in a dark ‘blood red’ color.
