Steel purple emperor butterfly sculpture

The purple emperor butterfly is made from steel and then lovingly handpainted with its detailed and intricate markings, on both sides of its wings.

Butterflies flying round your garden have a magical presence, they are graceful and beautiful with vibrant colours and markings on delicate wings.   I have tried to capture some of these features in each of my butterfly sculptures.

The butterfly is is 11cm (4 1/4 inches) wide, 9cm (3 1/2 inches) long and 4cm (1 1/2 inches) high.
