This produces an iridescence that shifts between cobalt, violet, and turquoise as the viewing angle and lighting changes. During the mid-20th century, artisans in South America transformed naturally collected wings into decorative mosaics. Spiral compositions like this required hundreds of carefully arranged wing sections surrounding a complete butterfly at the center. It can be displayed on the wall or used as a dish \/ tray. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDetails\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1950s - 1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Morpho butterfly wings, glass, metal tray\/frame\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hanging loop on reverse; suitable for wall display or tabletop use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 6 in. diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good vintage condition.
