Celestial Insects Jumping Spider Pin
Inspired by enduring celestial symbols and the fleeting beauty of insects, the "Celestial Insects" series is designed to celebrate and honor the great and the small together in a collectible art form. The Jumping Spider (The Dancer) makes an eye-catching accent anywhere alone or in the company of other pins in the series.
The Jumping Spider (The Dancer) holds its rearmost legs aloft on either side of a bright sunrise banner decorating its abdomen. This design was inspired by the Maratus genus, known as peacock spiders. Males perform a dance and display bright colors on an abdominal flap to try to win mates.
Hard enamel pin with gold plating, single post, and yellow clutch. Approximately 32 mm tall.
This pin design was made possible through the Celestial Insects 2: Sun & Moon Enamel Pins Kickstarter! Many thanks to the generous backers who made the campaign a success!
