Each item inside Mrs. Bones Curio Cupboard is selected with intention—never ordinary, never without a story.
Some are handcrafted. Some are discovered. All are chosen to bring a little intrigue, beauty, or curiosity into your world.
A Tiny Piece of the Louisiana Bayou
Small enough to tuck into a curiosity cabinet but unusual enough to make someone stop and look twice, each miniature glass vial contains a genuine Louisiana alligator toe.
The natural specimen is displayed inside a clear glass bottle with a cork stopper, creating a wonderfully strange little curiosity for collectors of oddities, natural history, bones and all things unusual.
Display it among bones, fossils and other natural specimens, add it to a cabinet of curiosities, or give it to that wonderfully weird person who already has everything—except, apparently, an alligator toe in a bottle.
Genuine Natural Alligator Specimen
Each vial contains a real alligator toe. Because these are genuine natural specimens, the toe you receive may vary in:
- Size and shape
- Coloration
- Scale pattern and texture
- Claw size and appearance
- Natural markings and imperfections
These variations are part of the character of the specimen and make each vial unique.
Handcrafted in Louisiana
Sourced from our Louisiana maker, these miniature specimens celebrate the natural history and distinctive character of the Louisiana bayou.
Explore the Story Behind Louisiana Alligator Curiosities
These unusual pieces are more than curiosities—they’re part of a much larger Louisiana story. The Mrs. Bones Research Library explores the American alligator’s remarkable conservation recovery, Louisiana’s regulated harvest and farming programs, the use of natural specimens, and the history and material culture surrounding the Louisiana alligator trade.
