An ornate 9.5 × 9.5" antique gold wood frame houses a thoughtfully arranged natural-history composition. Two (2) real Athyma pravara butterflies rest alongside an authentic antique cabinet card photograph of John Baker at age five, creating a quiet intersection of preserved nature and personal history.
The arrangement is gently encircled by a bouquet of real dried botanicals, enhancing the piece’s timeless, cabinet-of-curiosities character and softly layered sense of story.
