The Perindens is a tree in India. It's fruit is sweet to the taste. In the Aberdeen Bestiary, the Perindens was illustrated as a Tree of Protection. The tree was a place of protection for the dove from the serpent or dragon. The artwork is displayed on both the front and back of the glossy cover in full color. the journal features both blank paper for sketching and lined paper with the Perindens watermark for your notes and thoughts. Enjoy your sketching! Note: The white paper in this sketchbook is 55# (90 GSM) so it is best for sketching with a light pencil and not a heavy ink pen as the ink may bleed.
