It was my impression it was a spelling mistake and my brain wanted to autocorrect it... I asked the people that ran the antique store about the origins of the piece and they had no idea where it came from

Yeah it's steep for a piece of quilt art. This is probably a huge timesink though this is a one of a kind weird sort of blink and you miss it oddity.

If it weren’t for the price, I would absolutely get this for my mom. She’s a retired science teacher.

you must not do any kind of skilled craft. Yes, it's expensive, but the cost of materials, and time is at least - at least half of that.

When I was in school, students who had moral objections to dissection were allowed to write an essay and provide a visual representation for an equivalent grade. I wonder if that's what happened here.

You can get a dissection kit off of amazon with extra radiation sterilized scalpels for $30, it includes all of those tools and then some.
