The ORIS scroll is the abode of a poem.

ORIS tells the tale of a tortured soul who is ordered to kill his own king. The hero wanders in a torturous timelessness around the mournful event and is seen both before the act and after its fatal end. The king, anticipating his death, destroys his entire domain, and his assassin with a guilty conscience ends his own life the moment his king dies. The fact that he tells this story after his death suggests that the prediction of the hero comes true, namely that he is doomed to torment beyond life.

The text of the ORIS in Bulgarian:

ГОНЕН ПАК ОТ БЕСЕН ЗВЯР,

БЕЗСИЛЕН НОСЯ ЛОШ ТОВАР.

ЩЕ ИМА ЛИ ЗА МЕН ЗОРА?


КОПНЕЯ ЗА БОЖЕСТВЕН ЦЯР,

НО РОБ НА ГРЕШЕН ГОСПОДАР

ВО АДСКИ МЪКИ ЩЕ ГОРЯ.


КЛЕЧА СЛАБ НО ВЪОРАЖЕН,

СО СВЕТЛИ АНГЕЛИ ДО МЕН.

ЗЛАТЕН ЖЕЗЪЛ У ДЕСНИЦА.


САМ НАСРЕД ГОРЯЩ ТЕРЕН,

ПРОКАЖЕН, ГНИЛ И НАРАНЕН,

ГРОЗНА БИЯ СИ ПЛЕСНИЦА.


СЪХНЕ КРЪВ НА РОД ВЕКОВЕН,

СТЕНЕ ПОД КАЛТА ЗАРОВЕН,

ПРЕКЪРШЕН СВЕТЛИЯ НИ ЦАР.


БИТ, ПРЕДАДЕН И ОТРОВЕН,

ГЛУХО ШЕПНЕ МИ ВИНОВЕН,

ЧЕ САМ Е ПЛАМНАЛ ТОЗ ПОЖАР.


ЦАРЯТ ОМАЛЯ, ИЗДЪХНА.

МИГОМ МУ ПЛЪТТА ИЗСЪХНА.

ВИК НЕЧОВЕШКИ ИЗРЕВАХ.


ПОСТОЙ, НОВ ЖИВОТ ЩЕ ВДЪХНА,

АЛА МИ ГЛАСЪТ ЗАГЛЪХНА

И ТЪЙ ДО НЕГО АЗ УМРЯХ...

A translation of ORIS in Engish:


CHASED AGAIN BY A WILD BEAST

POWERLESS, I HANDLE AN EVIL BURDEN

WILL THERE BE DAWN FOR ME?


LONGING FOR A DIVINE CURE

BUT A SLAVE TO A SINFUL MASTER

I'LL BURN IN HELLISH FLAMES


KNEELING WEAK BUT ARMED

WITH BEAMING ANGELS BY ME

A GOLDEN SCEPTER IN MY HAND


ALONE IN THE BURNING LANDSCAPE

LEPROUS, ROTTEN AND WOUNDED

AN UGLY STRIKE I INFLICT UPON MYSELF


AN ANCIENT BLOODLINE IS DRYING UP

WAILING BENEATH THE MUD

OUR BRIGHT KING LIES BROKEN


BEATEN, BETRAYED AND POISONED

WHISPERS TO ME GUILTY

THAT HE STARTED THE BLAZE


THE KING WEAKENED, GAVE HIS LAST BREATH

HIS FLESH TURNING DRY

I LET OUT AN UNEARTHLY SCREAM


STAY, I'LL BREATH NEW LIFE

BUT MY VOICE WAVERED

AND I DIED BY HIS SIDE...

The scroll was the most appropriate book form to store such a short but meaningful text. My father Ivo Daskalov took on the complex task of finding an engineering solution for making the body of this creation. I, on the other hand, took care of the writing and decoration of the poem. This was done on both sides on my handmade "Serdika" paper with 50% cotton content and enriched with mineral waters from the Sofia Central Springs.

The body of the scroll is made of mahogany base, storing the silver rotating mechanism and is covered with lids made of 925 silver. The total dimensions of the body are 8x2x2 cm, and the scroll itself 28x3.5 cm.

The work is available to be in the collection of a connoisseur of our work. If you are interested, please contact us via the contact form on our website.
