Great Spangled Fritillary + Trinket Box

A butterfly painted on the beveled glass lid of an oval-shaped, footed box featuring an open wraparound floral motif and bright brassy finish; hinged lid + light yellowish-orange velour interior

Approximate dimensions: 4 ½ by 4 by 2 ¾ inches tall (interior 4 by 3 by 1 ½ inches tall)

✷ The trinket boxes sourced for these art objects have some wear and imperfections that are typical of vintage/secondhand items and add to the overall character of the piece. Any flaws that I consider potentially more bothersome are shown in greater detail.

✷ Trinkets not included :)

Artist Statement:

The impression my moth and butterfly paintings are meant to give is that a real creature happened to see a frame sitting "empty" and decided to land there. Part of the story they tell is in this illusion of a fleeting moment that has been frozen and can be held onto...

These are another iteration of this same idea; instead of living within a frame on your wall each creature looks as though it has landed on top of a trinket box, a tiny guardian for your tiny treasures.
