That looks like a great book. I really enjoyed the pictures of some of the pieces next to their sennit bags and containers. Many of these pieces would be wrapped in sennit fiber nearly all the time and thus unviewable in their native cultures. The act of the priest wrapping the object in sennit, barkcloth and other materials while repeating prayers charged the objects with mana.
