The ancient greeks believed that a new human soul was born every time an adult butterfly emerged from its cocoon.
An antique flat iron and trivet, originally used to iron ribbons and collars, adorned with a butterfly from an unwanted vintage collection. This miniature world is presented in a glass dome with a base created from a carved Victorian table leg.
Dome Dimensions: height 23cm

Enigma Variations
Unexpected juxtapositions: where antique artefacts have a poetic dialogue with the natural.
