This is a cute mushroom shaped box made out of Mauriti Palm Nut (Mauritia flexuosa) cap & Birdseye Maple (Acer saccharum) stalk. A new species of mushroom from my shop, this one has a semi-translucent cap with subtle color blend. From South America, Muriti is another nice vegetable ivory nut. It is much smaller than the well known tagua nut, so you don't see it used as often. The dark ring on the cap is the skin of the nut I retain for accent. Birdseye is an interesting figure found in a few hard maple timber where the grains twisted on themselves forming shimmering round eyes throughout the wood.

This threaded box can be used to hold tiny valuables...The screw-on cap ensured that your content is secured; also serves as a unique gift for nature lovers
