Product details

Description

A solid brass rhinoceros beetle, horn curved forward and legs splayed mid-stride, cast with fine detail down to the segmented abdomen and clawed feet. A warm brass tone with darker shading in the joints gives it real presence — equal parts natural-history specimen and desk object with a bit of edge. Substantial in the hand for its size.

The rhinoceros beetle is famously one of the strongest creatures on earth for its size, able to lift many times its own weight — a small emblem of outsized strength and resilience. Beetles more broadly have long stood for transformation, rebirth, and protection. A standout piece for the collector, the naturalist, or anyone drawn to a cabinet-of-curiosities aesthetic.

Approx. 29 × 76 mm (about 1.1 × 3 in) · 51 g · Solid brass · Antique brass patina · Made in China
