Bound in Plexiglas boards with titles laser engraved in white on front board. Signed, dated, and numbered by the artist Islam Aly: "Enigmatic Talismans is inspired from the symbols found in Ethiopian healing scrolls. Originally they were produced to provide live spiritual power in the physical world. "I find the various symbols captivating, fantastic creatures, faces, eyes, angels, and patterns that blur the line between traditional function and contemporary abstraction.

The covers are made from transparent Plexiglas that reveals the overlapping symbols, generating new meanings.
