The scripted prop was a Grimoire-esque, ancient tome.  Referred to as both the Book of Shadows and the Book of Immortality, replete with ancient runes, latin, freemason symbols, ancient greek and sanskrit, the challenge, as usual, was to come up with this antiquity in 7 to 10 days.  Ideally made out of heavy leather and vellum, there was only one problem... our lead actor was vegan so we could use neither.

You can see from these pictures the attention to detail that Ross brought to the project.  I was able to show the Director and Producers sketches and design elements before pulling the trigger and then keep them informed as the project proceeded.  We decided to go with a faux suede and a distressed course linen for the cover and spine and an aged faux parchment for the pages... 100% Vegan.
