The ancient greeks believed that a new human soul was born every time an adult butterfly emerged from its cocoon.
The beautiful antique specimen butterfly, an almost extinct apollo (Parnassius apollo) is placed on an antique silver-plated cruet. This miniature world is presented in a glass dome with a base created from a Victorian table central column.
Dimensions: height 23cm x diameter 12cm

Enigma Variations
Unexpected juxtapositions: where antique artefacts have a poetic dialogue with the natural.
Due to the fragility of the glass dome and its contents we have reluctantly decided not to offer a delivery service on this creation. Please purchase and arrange collection with the gallery. Thank you.
