AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Unique handmade Nature History miniature diorama in a glass dome.

The whole consists of dried flowers and two mounted honeybees, one of which is placed on a solid 18-karat gold buttercup flower (15 grams).
Around the hind legs of the bees are 18-karat gold "pollen grains" in the form of a bead.
On the body are pure gold ''wild'' nuggets, originating from Australia.

Together they pollinate the golden flower.

- The dome is made of thin, finely blown glass; the base is wood.
- The bees come from a beekeeper in the Netherlands.
- The lighting that makes the whole sparkle in the dark runs on a battery. It is placed with a switch on the underside and neatly concealed in the base.
- The dome can be hung or placed down
- Size: 6.5 cm x 11 cm.

Note:

- Free delivery in the Netherlands and Belgium. - In good consultation with the seller.

- Given the fragility of the object, shipping to other European countries is challenging, but this is arranged in good consultation with the buyer. Costs of these are for the buyer.
