The Highland Bower - Real Purple Spotted Swallowtail Glass Dome Diorama
Invite the rare, breathtaking colours of a hidden mountain canopy into your space.
Handcrafted for natural history collectors, curiosity collectors, and lovers of modern gothic decor, this premium glass cloche displays a miniature forest floor frozen in time. The focal point is a genuine, flawlessly preserved Purple Spotted Swallowtail (Graphium Weiskei), a magnificent species endemic only to the high-altitude cloud forests of New Guinea. It's velvety dark wings boast a striking, naturally iridescent arrangement of lavender-purple, fuchsia, and bright lime-green patches that shift beautifully as light passes over the display.
The swallowtail is artfully perched on a central stalk of weathered natural driftwood. The base is beautifully layered with a plush bed of faux moss, surrounding clusters of detailed faux ferns, smooth beach stones, and raw amethyst quartz crystal points to anchor the enchanted miniature ecosystem. The entire organic landscape is encased under a clear glass dome resing on a sleek, matte black base.
