  1. A 1,500 year old reliquary box, known as a pyx, has been found in Austria. Only around 40 of these sorts of ivory boxes are known worldwide and the last time one was found during excavations was about a 100 years ago. Personally, I’m looking forward to serving Imhotep or whatever beastie comes with the box.

  2. I mostly work on 2-3 #BiodiversityShrines at a time. Colias palaeno once was a typical #butterfly of the #Vosges, today it is probably #extinct. Its problem: #wetlands as habitat were destroyed or vanish now by #droughts. The butterfly feeds exclusively on Vaccinium uliginosum, but this plant needs wetlands and colder climate. The #shrine is made from #packaging #waste. #WorkInProgress #NatureArt #BiodiversityLoss #Alsace #reliquary #Reliquien #extinctSpecies #ClimateChange #Colias
