Scope and Contents

Three wooden objects and a thimble are placed upright in a bed of beige colored gravel like a dessert landscape. 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.
