A lavender field at dusk, when lilac turns to blue. From the Fantasculture collection comes Scarabeo Lavanda (Lavender Scarab), a good luck charm to hang on the wall or stand on a shelf.

Lilac and periwinkle wings, spotted with blue like drops of ink. On its back a milk-white dome, glossy as a sugar cube, and a tiny honey-coloured bead. Two little pink eyes, ice-blue arms and a pair of horns fit for a small king.

An ancient symbol of rebirth and protection, it looks good hung on the wall or resting among books, shells and old drawers. In a Wunderkammer it is at home right away.

An amulet for those who collect wonders. What will it guard, on your wall?
