Calypso is a cute and bizarre creature.
Half cat, half gremlin, she is made from a very special and quite rare wooden material in its dry form: a dark solid wood of the polypore fungus, the tinderbox, which grows on certain dead tree trunks and itself becomes as hard as them by feeding on wood cellulose.
The wood of the amadou combines well with the papier-mâché pulp, as both are made of entirely natural wood cellulose.
Dimensions: 16 x 13 x 13 cm
