The Necronomicon, Milliput Mog Edition
An interesting take on the Necronomicon from "Milliput Mog". It seems to be a prop for a British television production. Anyone have an idea what show it was used on?
That’s a nice, fresh take on a grimorie. The naturalistic elements almost put this into the Aesthetic Movement or Arts and Crafts criteria of the late 1880s. The leaf-like or fin corner protectors are especially good and the squamous, shagreen cover material has a texture that works very well. The finishing touch, the eye/mouth/unspeakable opening centerpiece with restraining straps really sets this piece apart as highly imaginative. This is the kind of stuff I love to encounter on Propnomicon’s site.
