{"product_id":"ceramic-hexagon-jigsaw-1","title":"The Hexagon Jigsaw — Aurea Papilio | The Naturalist’s Cabinet","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaria Sibylla Merian understood something that most naturalists of her century did not: that a specimen pinned to a board tells only half the story. The other half belongs to the light it lived in.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis puzzle is composed in that spirit. At its centre, a golden butterfly — \u003cem\u003eAurea Papilio\u003c\/em\u003e, rendered in the tradition of 18th-century entomological illustration — rests in full dorsal display on a ground of pale parchment, as if lifted from the pages of a naturalist’s cabinet and set beneath glass. Around it, a circular composition of acanthus volutes, star-shaped blossoms, and celestial symbols — a crown, a crescent moon — frames the subject with the quiet authority of something that was always meant to be observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the Radiolaria Jigsaw descends into the depths of the ocean, \u003cem\u003eAurea Papilio\u003c\/em\u003e rises into the light. They are two studies from the same archive — one nocturnal, one diurnal — and together they form a complete cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Object\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFired in ceramic and presented in a hexagonal wooden box lined with ivory linen, this is a puzzle conceived as a collectible — an object as suited to a shelf as to an afternoon of careful assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hexagonal ceramic jigsaw tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hexagonal wooden box, ivory linen lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign tradition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18th-century entomological illustration, Merian school\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Archival-grade full-surface print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade to order\u003c\/strong\u003e — produced with intention, never in excess\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart of The Naturalist’s Cabinet, curated for The Canvas Collective.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Canvas Collective","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52872535179530,"sku":"2966770","price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/0065\/1274\/files\/2966770_ceramic-hexagon-jigsaw_0.jpg?v=1776381916","url":"https:\/\/thecanvascollective.shop\/it\/products\/ceramic-hexagon-jigsaw-1","provider":"The Canvas Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
