This is a very special mushroom shaped box made out of American Holly (Illex opaca)with Wisteria (Wisteria chinensis) cap.   Wisteria is a very beautiful, fast growing, hardy vine that can grow very large.  The world's largest vine known resigns here in California, covering more than 1 acre! It is highly ornamental due to the panicles of dangling purple blooms.  The wood is seldom seen utilized, so this is your chance to have your hand on a Wisteria artifact.  The concentric rings of the yellow wood makes an interesting mushroom cap.  With American Holly, one of the whitest wood as a mushroom stalk, this looks good enough to eat!

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