Anybody who knows who the woman is should call police on the non-emergency line 101 and quote the incident 212 of November 2.
Siobhan Baillie condemned the "nastiness" on Monday after the item was found by her workplace in Stroud, Gloucestershire.
"There are plenty of ways to make a point about politics or governments without resorting to putting excrement in a box," she said.
"Because of the nastiness we face, many decent people are thinking twice about standing for public office."
The box is also said to have included a derogatory note written on the inside.
