This piece blends miniature sculpture, natural history, and enchanting storytelling. A Papilio bianor (Chinese Peacock Swallowtail) and a Neptis soma (Sailor Butterfly) explore a towering handcrafted bookshelf filled with tiny books, scrolls, candles, ink bottles, vials, magnifying glasses, and woodland curiosities. Moss winds along the shelves and branch, giving the sense of a hidden library deep in an enchanted forest.

Every miniature object — each book spine, candle flame, rolled scroll, and glass bottle — is crafted entirely by hand. The vibrant green shimmer of Papilio bianor contrasts beautifully with the clean black-and-white stripes of Neptis soma, creating a striking balance of color and movement within the dome.

Each dome is made individually, making every piece one of a kind.
A perfect statement piece for book lovers, nature collectors, fantasy enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates magical miniature worlds sealed under glass.
