Butterfly & Bones Dome – Pachliopta kotzebuea with Rat Skull

A beautifully haunting fusion of life and death, this unique dome features a Pachliopta kotzebuea butterfly delicately perched atop a real rat skull and vertebrae Surrounded by preserved florals and dried foliage, the composition evokes a sense of gothic decay and natural beauty frozen in time.

The striking contrast between the butterfly’s velvety black and crimson wings and the bone-white remains beneath it creates a compelling visual narrative — a tribute to the cycle of life, transformation, and mortality.

Housed in a 12cm spherical glass dome.

All bones are ethically sourced from non-CITES species.

A perfect centrepiece for dark nature lovers, collectors of the strange and unusual, or those drawn to the poetry of the natural world.

All inverts are ethically sorced. Please visit our Ethics page for more information.

    "Absolutely blown away with this order and could not be happier. Great work, communication, great description on the item -i can't rate this seller highly enough!"

    "I lost my adult female Sabah blue a few months back, and I was heart broken, sent her to Natalie at Afterlife Artistry and she made her into a beautiful work of art and I'm so happy to have her home again"

    "Very pleased with this frame, butterflies are spot on! I made a custom order, and Natalie suggested the best species to use. She also managed to source the type of guilt frame I wanted to match my other pictures"
