Framed Great Purple Emperor (Sasakia charonda)

Framed Great Purple Emperor (Sasakia charonda)

Ethically sourced · never killed for art

A striking union of gothic romanticism and entomological wonder, this compact shadow box transforms a Papilio bianor into a ritualistic art piece designed with a distinct dark academia aesthetic. As captured in Papilio bianor (Chinese peacock butterfly)1.PNG, the specimen features iridescent wings shifting from deep emerald to rich teal, mounted over a miniature medieval sword with an eye-adorned pommel. Set against a backdrop of deep blue crushed velvet and accented with delicate dried Gypsophila (Baby's Breath), this piece perfectly balances the organic with the eternal.
