Fantastic Curio Box - Original Artisan Creation - "Sand-Heart" Crab

A fragment of an enchanted world to collect

"He approached very gently, on the tips of his pincers, as if he was afraid of being seen too much. Then he held out a shell to me... To offer it to me."

Each box is a precious capsule, containing a rare creature collected during astral or oneiric expeditions, in lands forgotten by our perceptions. Inspired by cabinets of curiosities, each work is unique and destined to be collected.

Natural Habitat
This sensitive crab lives in warm sandy areas, often near the lairs of other creatures. It likes to settle where the light lingers late in the day. It builds small altars of shells, which it dedicates to significant encounters.

Peculiarities
Its soft orange carapace, dotted with sequins, subtly changes hue according to the emotional intensity around it. It quickly becomes attached to those it meets, and sometimes even seems to watch those who leave.

It is said that it cannot bear goodbyes... unless they are followed by a "see you soon."

Anecdote of the encounter
"He didn't hesitate for a second. He followed me everywhere for hours. I tried to tell him he couldn't come. But I ended up making room for him in my pocket. He fell asleep there."
