Description

A rectangular sketchbook folder with most of its pages torn out--two pages remain inside. Sinhalese script has been written in blue pen in the top right corner of the cover. The folder is bound at the spine with thin, cotton thread, which is woven through the cover and inner pages to hold them together. The first page is a sample sheet with information about the sketchbook and manufacturer. The second page is also a sample sheet, with text on the back side. The cover is blue, and reads 'The Waverly Artistic School Drawing Book' in the bottom centre of the page. Above this, inside of a solid black oval, is a left-facing portrait style bust of Mars wearing a toga and a Roman helmet. Sitting on top of his helmet is a small, winged dragon with its mouth open and tongue out. Extending from the bust is a broad, floral border which continues along the top and sides of the cover in a rectangular arch. Thin, horizontal stripes fill in the space between the flowers and leaves. Surrounding the floral pattern, bust, and title is a second border, consisting of three thin, parallel lines.
