Sweetheart Underwing Moth + Trinket Box

A moth painted on the glass lid of a round hinged box featuring wrapped floral filigree design and aged brass finish; mirrored interior + black velour lining on the bottom

Please note: while the box is structurally sound, the hinge on the lid feels a bit loose when opening/closing, so it should be handled with a little extra care; also, the glass is not firmly fixed within the metal frame of the lid and can shift/rotate slightly (I noticed some movement when I was cleaning the underside of the glass - it's not going anywhere, just something to be aware of)

Approximate dimensions: 4 by 5 by 1 ½ inches tall (interior 3 ⅝ by 3 ⅝ by 1 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.
