Decorative vintage natural-history style display featuring eight preserved butterfly specimens arranged throughout a woodland-inspired composition of branches, moss, and colorful floral elements, all enclosed beneath a tall clear glass dome resting on a round wooden base. The butterflies vary in size and coloration, including examples with green, blue, cream, brown, and darker patterned wings, creating an attractive layered presentation reminiscent of Victorian entomological displays. The arrangement shows light age-related wear and minor dust or surface debris within the enclosure. The glass is glued to base. Measures 12.25" x 9".
