'Skullmate' by Luke Twigger offers a unique storage solution. The white, glazed earthenware skulls contain green pin-cushion 'brains' made of vintage fabrics and can act as a home for trinkets, jewelry, keys, candy, or any other small knick-knacks.
Each handmade 'Skullmate' by Luke Twigger features a golden-glazed tooth detail and a floral pattern painted on the side. Twigger, a UK-based designer, has adorned the green 'brain' cushions with robin's feathers as an homage to the city of Nottingham, England and their most enduring icon, Robin Hood.
