Memorabilia collection - Japanese Insect Specimen Display Case – 15 Species Wooden Frame

This is a beautifully arranged Japanese insect specimen display, presented in a high-quality wooden frame and showcasing 15 different insect species. Each specimen is carefully mounted and individually labeled, creating a balanced and visually striking composition suitable for interior display, study, or collection.

The specimens appear to be properly dried and preserved, with wings and body structures clearly visible. The overall condition is very good, making this set particularly suitable for beginners or entry-level collectors, while still appealing to experienced enthusiasts of entomology and natural history décor.

The clean white backing enhances the contrast and color of each insect, while the solid wooden frame provides a refined, gallery-style presentation. The frame is designed for both wall mounting and tabletop display, offering flexibility for various interior settings such as studies, libraries, museums, or private collections.

Based on construction style, labeling format, and materials, this specimen set is estimated to have been produced in the late 20th century to early 21st century (circa 1990s–2000s).
