A one-of-a-kind handmade gothic wall decor piece, created for lovers of dark, macabre and occult aesthetics. This composition features a real preserved Acherontia atropos — the death's-head hawk-moth — one of the most iconic and sought-after moths in the world. Named after Atropos, the Fate who cuts the thread of life, it bears a skull-shaped marking on its thorax that has inspired fear and fascination for centuries. Here it rests among dried pumpkins and autumn flowers, on a dark background, beneath a brass nameplate bearing its Latin name. The hand-cast, hand-painted baroque frame is finished in aged black and gold, sealed with hand-cut glass. The back of the frame is beautifully finished with black velvet and antique lace — as with almost all Morbid Oddities pieces. _______________________________ Details: Real preserved moth — Acherontia atropos (death's-head hawk-moth) Dried pumpkins and autumn flowers Brass nameplate with Latin specimen name Hand-cast and hand-painted baroque frame with aged black and gold finish Hand-cut glass Back finished with black velvet and lace _______________________________ Processing: Ready to hang.
