Bring dramatic elegance and cultural beauty into your space with this handcrafted paper butterfly inspired by Papilio krishna, the legendary Krishna Peacock swallowtail of Asia.
Papilio krishna is a large and striking swallowtail found in forested regions of China, northeast India, Myanmar, and Vietnam. This species is admired for its deep black wings, bold yellow discal band, vivid blue hindwing patch, and distinctive red-mauve crescents near the tail — a combination that makes it one of the most visually powerful swallowtails in the world.
This sculpted paper butterfly is carefully handcrafted to reflect both the dorsal (top) and ventral (underside) wing patterns, allowing the specimen to be appreciated from every angle. Each piece is formed by hand to create gentle wing curvature and lifelike presence, making it ideal for collectors, educators, and butterfly enthusiasts.
Each butterfly arrives mounted in a crystal-clear 7" x 7" x 1" display box with a habitat image and a scientific information label on the back, making it perfect for display, gifting, or educational use.
Because every butterfly is handmade, subtle variations in color, shape, and form may occur — just as they do in nature — ensuring that each piece is truly one of a kind.
