The text is rubberstamped on paper inside the lid and reads "I am the grain of truth...I hold the vessels of history and shatter them at Inside the lid is a small coffin-like wooden box; a black box on the outside has a metal capital "F." This sculpture symbolizes the puppeteer, a founder of an imaginary civilization, the Hegamons, who is described on p. 17 of the book in the title. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
