Wooden "the Reader" sign (6" x 8")

The centerpiece features a detailed skeleton emerging from or sitting behind an open book, with dramatic radiating light beams (sunburst pattern) emanating from behind the skull, creating a powerful sense of enlightenment and knowledge. The skeleton's hands rest on either side of the open book, as if deeply engaged in reading or protecting this sacred text.

The composition is framed by an elaborate Art Deco-inspired border featuring geometric patterns, ornate corner flourishes with scrollwork, and architectural elements that evoke vintage bookplates and library aesthetics. The top features a decorative medallion, while the sides include elegant pillar-like designs with intricate detailing.

Surrounding the central figure are botanical elements including ferns or palm fronds at the bottom, adding a natural, organic contrast to the geometric framework. Stars and celestial symbols dot the outer borders, reinforcing the mystical, enlightened theme. The entire design has a symmetrical, balanced composition that draws the eye to the center.

This sign is perfect for book lovers, librarians, English teachers, writers, students, or anyone who finds solace and enlightenment in reading. It makes an excellent gift for bibliophiles, graduates, teachers, or anyone who appreciates literary art with a gothic, mystical edge. Ideal for decorating home libraries, reading nooks, bookshops, classrooms, offices, or any space dedicated to the love of literature. It's a powerful statement piece that celebrates the transformative and enlightening power of books and reading.
