Terrarium - Death's-head hawkmoth with roses

A striking fusion of natural beauty and quiet symbolism, this one-of-a-kind terrarium is housed in a medium glass dome and centered around a preserved Death’s-head hawkmoth.
Known for its haunting skull-like marking, the moth rests above a gleaming pyrite stone—often called “fool’s gold”—a symbol of protection and transformation. Two delicate varieties of preserved white florals bring softness and balance to the scene, while two perfectly preserved roses add a sense of romantic stillness and depth.

This piece evokes the stillness of twilight and the beauty found in life’s darker edges. A statement for any space, collection, or curiosity cabinet, it’s an invitation to honor the mysterious and the macabre.
