Made of copper, silver and inlaid crab shell. The side is chased and repoussed to match the texture of the crab shell. The lid is cast sterling silver. It has a hidden drawer in the bottom. The top comes off to revival a puzzle.

This box won Award of Merritt at the 2004 Craft Houston.
Here are some photos of the inside. The center is a real barnacle and the others are cast fine silver. I always wondered what a live barnacle looked like, so I made my own. I took crab claws and electroformed gold and silver on them. I created gold and silver gills on the underside.
The smaller ones have silver tails and the older ones have gold tails. Each sit in a special hole which forms a puzzle. Inside the center of the box is a ruby, the hive's hart. Each of the barnicals are inside hatching. The drawer has a photo etching of a map.
