Painted Cutout Butterly with Fine Antennae! pottery vase 4” t x 3 7/8”

4” t x 3 7/8” d x 5 1/4” handle

who traveled around the world shooting animals and buying strange artifacts of many sorts

I see them as just gorgeous sculptural objects

with some smudges and stains that I think only enhance its moody underwater feel

Painted Cutout Butterly with Fine Antennae! pottery vase 4” t x 3 7/8”Quite an exhuberant butterly, and it seems fairly old one judging from the back, hand painted on laid paper, with very finely cut out antennae! Perhaps it lost one tiny one along the way, but who cares, a lovely, painterly thing which also feels quite symbolic! 7 7 16 wing span x 4 1 8 t, very good condition.
