The recessed label is foil stamped on paper; an additional recess holds seeds encapsulated in mica. The remaining three spaces have various seed specimens in sealed glass tubes. The spaces are structurally supported with copper rod.

Paper coverings are multi-run screen prints, hand-dyed with Moriki edging. Base and removable title band are of painted book cloth. Seed specimens encapsulated in mica are recessed into the base

A non-linear text runs along the interior triangular bases:

endlessly varied, complex & puzzling

foundation of human and animal life on earth

marking both beginning and end of a cycle.
