Vogel hop met meikever, vintage, bont gestoffeerd, H 33 cm

The crest feathers are so vivid they almost glow, and the black dots against that orange are perfectly crisp. It's a real statement piece even from across the room, and the cockchafer in its beak adds a playful touch I didn't expect.

The painted details on the little cockchafer beetle are so fine you'd think it's about to crawl away. It's a real conversation piece on my shelf, and the vintage painting style gives it a charm that modern pieces just can't match.

That crest is unreal in person—the orange feathers almost glow against the black speckles, and the cockchafer in its beak adds such a playful touch. It’s a proper conversation piece on the shelf, even if the 33 cm height means it needs a bit of room to show off.
