Mandrake Root Specimen

A legendary root from old-world folklore, preserved and framed as though it had been pulled from the earth and added to a collector's private cabinet.

With its twisted human-like anatomy, dried botanical textures and aged presentation, the Mandrake Root Specimen turns one of folklore's most recognizable plants into a dark, self-contained display piece.

• Display size: approx. 23 × 17 × 4 cm / 9 × 6.7 × 1.5 in
• Materials: high-detail resin, wood, fabric and preserved-look moss
• Presentation: distressed wooden shadow box with ornate corner details
• Finish: hand-painted and individually aged
• Display: ready to hang

THE LEGEND

For centuries, the mandrake has been surrounded by stories of roots shaped like the human body, hidden knowledge and a deadly scream when torn from the ground.

The Cursed Items interpretation imagines one of those legendary specimens already recovered and preserved, pinned inside an aged shadow box among moss and worn fabrics. Its contorted anatomy and weathered finish give it the appearance of something once catalogued, then quietly forgotten.

The result sits somewhere between botanical specimen and forbidden curiosity, designed as a compact wall piece with enough detail to reward a closer look.

This is an artistic collectible made entirely from synthetic materials. It contains no real mandrake root.

DISPLAY & PACKAGING

The specimen comes fully mounted inside its distressed wooden shadow box, with secure hanging hardware already installed.

Each piece is additionally protected inside a custom-made wooden shipping crate for international transport.
