Beaded Beetle from the Cabinet of Curiosity - Large

These beetles are hand embroidered on organic calico using golden threads and decorated with tiny brass and coloured glass beads. The frame is a hand made wooden box frame finished in matte black.

Hundreds of tiny glass beads and intricate layers of sequins applied with tremendous skill...and patience.. map out the colours and various patterns of this glamorous beetle collection. Padded from behind this forms the plum domed bodies of the creatures. It is mounted in a box frame with a fun archivist Latin description denoting the genus of the beetles.

Frame size - 42cm x 36.5cm x 2.5cm
