The Cordyceps Infected Dead Fairy Framed Display presents a preserved fairy specimen overtaken by parasitic fungal growth, mounted within a museum-style shadow box. Designed as a statement piece for collectors of oddities, curiosities, and folklore artefacts, it blends fantasy with the aesthetic of antique scientific preservation. The fairy rests against an intricately illustrated specimen backdrop filled with anatomical diagrams, field notes, and classification markings, suggesting careful documentation of an unusual discovery. Whether displayed on a wall or free-standing on a shelf, it serves as a striking centrepiece that invites curiosity and quiet examination.
Each specimen features a finely sculpted resin fairy with carefully painted cordyceps infection details emerging organically across the body. The translucent wings capture light with subtle realism, contrasting against the aged specimen chart background. Encased within a black acrylic shadow box frame, the display protects and elevates the specimen, giving it the presence of a preserved artefact rather than a decorative ornament. Inspired by folklore, natural history collections, and antique specimen archives, this piece bridges myth and preservation in a refined, atmospheric format.
