Deaths Head Hawkmoth

Description

An artistically rendered specimen.
The Death's Head Hawkmoth looks stunning perched about your collarbones. A bit of Natural History, mystery and tribal beauty with a dash of tongue-in-cheek whimsy!
This natural beauty was meticulously hand-beaded using hundreds of tiny glass Delica beads for the wings; luminous golden tiger eye & 22kt gold vermeil for the body with a primitive, tribal inspired carved bone Skull to evoke the not so subtle nomenclature of the species.
The necklace is comprised of luxe, luminous tiger eye rondells, traditional African glass trade beads & 22kt gold vermeil hand-knotted on silk. Finished off with a hand crafted vintage-look clasp.

wingspan: 5 inches
height: 2.25 inches
necklace: 20 inches

She arrives beautifully presented in her own "Riker Mount" (scientific display case) with her Latin name and origin handwritten inside. The "common" name is written on the back of the case along with a listing of stones and other elements used in her creation. These pieces are signed by the artist.

You can attach a picture hook to the back of the case and display the Death's Head Hawkmoth as an art/ scientific specimen as a lovely alternative to hiding her away in your jewelry box!
