D20 #3 These displays are beautiful! This is a great little glass dome display showcasing a Harnessed Tiger Moth ! It is done in the fashion of the Victorian Era using only natural items. This style enhances the beauty of the subject and presents it in a natural surrounding with all natural elements. It is surrounded by real dried foliage, bark, flowers, moss, etc. and lichen with a real snail and ladybug. This would make a great learning/teaching tool, and fit into any collection! These are great gifts and wonderful little displays! Overall, this display is approximately 4 x 3".

If you are purchasing one of my Victorian displays and are familiar with Antique Victorian displays, you are aware of that they have usually fallen into disarray and disintegrated to the point that they no longer show well. My displays mimic the antique look without everything being washed out and tattered due to extreme age. I keep my displays as economical as possible enabling me to make them a lot more affordable than the true antiques. Every display shows well and is sure to be noticed and commented on! All my displays are hand crafted using only the highest quality of items available and as many natural pieces as possible. Much time and thought are invested into each ONE OF A KIND DISPLAY (unless otherwise noted) as to bring life to the natural beauty of each animal so they may be enjoyed for years to come. Each display is decorated specifically to enhance the beauty of the animal/insect showcased as well as show each in a natural setting. These displays will fascinate as well as inspire wonder in all who view!
