About this Piece

This round lidded box is made using sustainable acacia wood, measuring 6" round by 4" high. It has a resin inlay featuring an octopus design, which incorporates bits of natural empty mussel shells, collected from our local beach.

This solid wood box has been stamped on the back with the artist's custom brand. See this page and photo for size comparison to Kathryn’s other round boxes.

The acacia box lid has been inlaid with food safe resin and a mixture of mussel shells. The lid is snug but not airtight, and is fully removable.

About this Species

Giant Pacific Octopus

The Giant Pacific Octopus is adapted to survive in cold, oxygen rich water. These intelligent creatures have amazing camouflage abilities, and the females care intensively for their eggs. The octopus feeds on fish, crabs, shrimp and other marine invertebrates.

Octopus are threatened by climate change and ocean warming, since their copper-based blood does not carry oxygen efficiently, and they are sensitive to changes in oxygenation in the water.
