A small, embossed leather, antique book of the famous poem Don Juan, written from 1819 to 1824 by the English poet Lord Byron, has a vintage butterfly, both placed under a glass dome with a waxed wooden base.
The ancient greeks believed that a new human soul was born every time an adult butterfly emerged from its cocoon.
Dome Dimensions: height 17cm x width 15cm

Enigma Variations
Unexpected juxtapositions: where antique artefacts have a poetic dialogue with the natural.
Due to the fragility of the glass dome and its contents we have reluctantly decided not to offer a delivery service on this creation. Please purchase and arrange collection with the gallery. Thank you.
