Arcana Prati Silvestris | Woodland

A one-of-a-kind handmade glass dome — wild, luminous and quietly haunted, for those who know that the forest keeps its secrets well.

A real rabbit skull, overgrown with vivid green moss, becomes the throne of a real preserved Calopteryx splendens — the banded demoiselle — its wings an impossible electric blue, its body the colour of deep water and old copper. Around them: a shed snake skin, lichen in silver and sage, dried flowers in pink and violet and cream, mushrooms beaded with dew, and the quiet suggestion of a meadow that has never been entirely tame.

Arcana Prati Silvestris — The Secret Mysteries of the Wild Meadow.

LORE

The rabbit knew this meadow
before it had a name.
She knew where the snake left her skin
and did not look back.
She knew which flowers
the demoiselle preferred —
the blue ones, always,
the ones that matched her wings.
Now the moss has come
to keep the skull company.
The demoiselle has stayed.
The snake skin remembers
the shape of something
that chose to become
something else.
This is what the meadow keeps:
not the living,
but the evidence
that they were here.
