Faerie Specimen

I created this oddity that purports to showcase an aged museum specimen of a faerie’s skeleton. I made the skeleton with the 3d printer using human skeletal models and bird wing skeleton drawings. I made the backdrop by combing various diagrams found online. All annotations reworked, positioned and (tediously) translated into latin. The museum placard is based on an example of a turn of the century museum card I located. The contents of the card reflect Lovecraftian and obscure Faerie lore. The paper was aged using amber shellac and affixed to a routed board with stand-off pins to suspend the skeleton.

Here are the original graphics:
