About the COA & authenticity

Certificate, engraved serial, wax seal, dedicated case — everything that upholds a one-of-a-kind work, delivered alongside it.

DRAGON renders an Eastern dragon upon the back of one of the longest-growing beetles on earth. Its hard, lacquer-like elytra become a single canvas; each scale is touched with gold, each claw and coiling flank given weight.
In East Asia the dragon is an emblem of power and good fortune. Its ascent toward heaven is laid upon one of the mightiest living forms on earth. May a quiet strength dwell with the one who keeps it.
We never kill for art. We use only beetles that were farm-raised and lived out their natural span. Honoured, they are given a second life as art — carrying the culture of Hercules to the next generation.
Prices and shipping do not include import VAT, customs duties, or clearance fees charged by your destination country. As the importer, you are responsible for these charges, which your carrier or customs office will collect before delivery.
For fine-art pieces, most countries charge little or no customs duty (for specimen-based decorative art this is not yet settled) but do apply import VAT (e.g. UK 5%, France 5.5%, Italy 5%, Germany 7%). We will send you an estimated landed cost for your country before we ship — your order proceeds only after you confirm. Refusing delivery does not waive these charges. Questions?
