Eco - The Ganesha Treat Case

A two-inch Ganesha terrarium with dry fruit and incense, in a satin-lined case.

A two-inch Ganesha sits in preserved moss under acrylic, small enough for a monitor stand and sealed so it never needs attention. A 100 g glass jar of mixed dry fruit under a gold lid gives the case something to open and pass round. Sandalwood incense cones finish it.

• The terrarium is the piece that stays. Preserved forest under a sealed acrylic cover needs no water and no light, and it sits happily on a crowded desk.
• The dry fruit is in glass with a metal lid, not a plastic pouch — so the jar gets kept and refilled rather than binned with the wrapper.
• Twenty incense cones made from upcycled temple flowers rather than fresh-cut material, and a terrarium base of recycled polymer. Both are waste streams put back to work.
• The smallest of the Emerald Forest three: rigid MDF in forest-green rexine, gold foil inside the lid, ivory ruched satin in the base, with a brass clasp and twisted gold rope handles.
