This seems to be a red, leather-bound book with gold embellishments. The book cover features the word "AQVA" embossed in gold lettering at the center. The right side, top, and bottom of the book have golden clasps with three rivet-like details on each of them. The red leather surface displays wear and age, with visible scratches and areas of darker discoloration. The edges of the cover are lined with a thin, gold border.
