Vinyl-bound photo album with cover featuring pyramid scene and Ancient Egyptian-style figures. The images are embossed and coloured against a black background; back cover features the same embossed images, but without colour. The cover edges are stitched with a leatherette thong. The pages of the album are heavy black paper, interleafed with a thin protective tissue, now yellowed. The pages are bound into the cover with string, and can be easily removed by undoing the string.
The album contains no photos (although the first page has several photo corners indicating the former presence of photos); however, two photos are loose in the front of the album, together with several documents:
