This piece features a preserved Asian Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio xuthus), displayed within a minimalist floating frame that allows the specimen to appear suspended in space. The bold contrast of cream and deep black patterning, accented by subtle blue and orange markings, highlights the species’ distinctive wing structure and elegant symmetry.
Carefully arranged by hand, this presentation emphasizes both the graphic quality of the butterfly’s markings and the natural sense of movement created by its elongated tails. The floating format offers a clean, contemporary alternative to traditional pin mounts, making the specimen equally suited for a cabinet of curiosities or a modern interior.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece created using a real, preserved specimen.
Not made to order.
