4x4x2 inch box, sealed with ribbon and wax seal. Choose from dark ribbon/wax variant, or light. Ultimately combos will be left up to me, beyond that choice.
What's inside? An assortment of 3+ curio jars/objects. May contain bones, wings, skins, flora, stones, antique trinkets, etc. Carefully chosen and jarred by me in Salem, MA.
Price is increased from in person sales ($20) of curio boxes, to accommodate shipping cost.
ETHICS NOTE: All specimens are ethically sourced. This means different things to different folks, so let's break it down.
-Bones. From animals that are either found myself or gifted by a friend, dissected by me from owl pellets, OR purchased from a farm owner in NJ who lovingly collects things like road kill, and buries on her property until the bones are ready (I then purchase and clean myself).
-Wings and insects. Again, either found naturally deceased by myself or friends, OR purchased from one or two small businesses that partner with sanctuaries and breeding programs. Every insect passes naturally, I will not purchase anything ever killed for the sake of a specimen.
-Webs. Purchased from a lovely person in central MA who preserves orb weaver webs. She only takes abandoned webs.
-Stones. More of a grey area but I do my best. I have a large collection that I sourced myself in Virginia, and I also purchase from gem shows, asking sellers source questions first.
