Swallowtail Butterfly bronze memorial sculpture ‘Wings of Remembrance’ - limited availability

A Swallowtail butterfly as a symbol of change and remembrance

‘Wings of Remembrance’ shows a Swallowtail butterfly with its wings open on a natural stone base. The yellow-and-black markings, elegant shape and characteristic tails on the hindwings make the species readily recognisable. Bronze and natural stone combine to create a composed and distinctive memorial sculpture.

The symbolism of ‘Wings of Remembrance’

Butterflies are often linked with change, freedom and transition. Their complete metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly gives them particular significance in memorial symbolism. Open wings may suggest release, while the title focuses on the memories and experiences that remain important.

Traditionally cast and finished by hand

The bronze is produced using the traditional lost-wax casting process, also known as cire perdue. A wax model is made first. Once the wax has been removed from the mould, the resulting space is filled with molten bronze. Each piece is then finished and patinated by hand. Small variations in colour and surface finish are a natural part of this craft process and give every sculpture its own character.

Durable materials for indoor and outdoor placement

Bronze is suitable for long-term placement indoors and outdoors. Over time, exposure to weather can gradually create a natural patina on the bronze surface. This changes the appearance without compromising the bronze itself. If you prefer to retain the original bronze tone for as long as possible, the bronze can be cared for periodically with a suitable bronze wax. Natural stone also varies in colour, texture and veining, so no two bases will be exactly alike.
