‘Artes Populares’ of Costa Rica – Mounted and Framed Endemic Butterflies
$198.00
Code: CRFA052
Size: 14” x 17” (36 x 43.5 cms)
In the Galeria Namu collection there is also featured – under Folk Arts – ‘artes populares’. This sub-category refers to classic quality mementos of Costa Rica that have become ‘souvenirs tipicos’ that visitors have, for years, loved picking up before leaving the country. Such emblematic ‘artes populares’ are the painted and framed feathers, painted wooden ox cart models and painted ox cart wheels, coffee chorreadores, as well as these delightful and well made mounted and framed endemic butterfly wall displays.
Costa Rica has many ‘mariposarios’ and even exports butterfly pupae abroad. Once a butterfly’s life cycle ends, specialists carefully mount these and frame them for visitors. These handsome framed sets, by popular demand, must have at least one blue morpho butterfly in the composition – the emblematic large blue queen of the rainforest (whose underwing displays the big “eye” for camouflage against predators).
