A one-of-a-kind handmade shadowbox — whimsical, witchy and quietly unsettling, for those who find beauty in the strange things the forest leaves behind. This composition features a real preserved toad skeleton as its centerpiece, suspended above a hand-poured resin surface that mirrors the stillness of a forest lake. Beneath the glass-like resin, preserved Cetonia aurata beetles rest in iridescent green — caught in a moment of eternal stillness. The composition is surrounded by preserved moss, dried mushrooms, lichens and delicate flowers, sealed within a heavy hand-cast baroque frame finished in aged black and gold. Sealed with hand-cut glass. _______________________________ Details: Real preserved toad skeleton Hand-poured resin with lake surface effect Preserved Cetonia aurata beetles beneath resin Preserved moss, dried mushrooms, lichens and flowers Heavy hand-cast and hand-painted baroque frame with aged black and gold finish Hand-cut glass Back finished with black velvet, lace and Morbid Oddities logo _______________________________ Processing: Ready to hang.
