A very beautiful true-to-life yellow swallowtail and flowers composed of numerous sections of short filigree and colorful aventurine arranged using a mosaic style technique floating over a tuft of opaque white ground. A pair of complex millefiori are found in the hind-wings but it is my opinion that these originated from some other origin; probably from France or more likely Belgium. The maker of these butterflies is unknown but they are very rare and have a unique aesthetic appeal. This example is particularly attractive.
