Iridescent Mink Skull, Beetle, and Butterfly Geode Cloche Display

 This cloche display is made with a sturdy antiqued wood base and a domed glass top with a handle. Inside is a base of moss sculpted carefully around multiple chunks of real quartz geodes. Displayed inside is a mink skull that has been painted in layers of indigo iridescent mica powder. Perched on top of the skull is a purple rhinoceros beetle posed with with spread wings. Towards the back of the skull are two more insects, one blue frog legged beetle, and a gorgeous iridescent blue butterfly pinned with partially opened wings.

*Please note that the cloche is detachable from the base. Handle with care, especially while unpacking!*

Sourcing:

This mink was a victim of the 2020 wildfires and was obtained after scavenging burned areas.

The butterfly has been sourced from a butterfly aviary breeding program, where butterflies are strategically bred and released to increase pollinator populations.

Both the frog legged beetle and the rhinoceros beetle are captive bred pets that have passed away naturally.
