Product Description
As seen on Apartment Therapy and in Wired magazine, this is another one of my classic, wonderfully weird shadow box dioramas featuring a REAL weevil beetle playing a miniature banjo. This well preserved weevil beetle has the most amazing natural colors that makes it really exquisite to look at, and it has been sealed and framed with UV conservation glass so your specimen won’t fade. Includes a natural history story about the specimen on a museum style label on back. Mounted on archival acid and lignin free mounting papers. Hanging hook attached and can stand on its own.
PLEASE NOTE:
Since these are all handmade, the pose of the beetle may differ slightly from the photo shown here.
THE FRAMING:
All our displays are framed with Tru-Vue UV blocking conservation glass so the colors and details won’t fade. Specimens are mounted on PH-balanced archival papers and sealed in the shadowbox display. Natural history information is included on a vintage style museum label on back. Framed insect can stand on its own or hang from wall (hanger included). Professionally made by an entomologist in Sonoma County California. Choose from three frame colors (Black, White, and Walnut)
