Years ago flea market buy, bargain at 5 Francs ($1!)
Eight antique (think around 1800'...) tokens.
Wafer thin wood, hand painted on both face with very naturalistic insects.
Diameter: 1.5/16" or 3.4 centimeters.
So, 16 bzz bzz or crawlers in total!
I even not tried to identify the species, eeek ;-)
Hope you'll enjoy them :-)

You and your Creepy Crawlies! LOL
Those would look great inside a frame and hung on the wall. :-)
Kyra, these are really great!!! I've never seen anything like these.
Hi friends! They would have to be framed between two glasses to be seen from two sides, they are still in my drawers...
I saw once 18th century buttons with insects, it was a naturalistic rage then.
Thank you for loving them and leaving such nice comments :-D
thank you Lisa!
thank you Caperkid!
Pascale, great! It always amazes me that the hundreds of different insects, and you have a number of small, very special here!
Merci Marga! Those aren't jewels but so special as you said :-)
