Star and Dragonfly Wall Decor Dragonfly Metal Sign Insect Home Decor

Stars at every size behind it.

A dragonfly sits dead center with all four wings spread wide, veins drawn in fine lines across surfaces the color of tarnished brass. The body is segmented down its length like a row of beads, and the head carries two round eyes with short antennae raised above them.

The ground behind is a dull blue-grey, mottled and flecked with gold. Bronze five-pointed stars sit at several sizes, the larger ones above the wings and a scatter of small ones below, each one catching light on a single face. Red beads run down both edges and heavy scrollwork fills the top and bottom. All of it, the depth on the stars and the polish on the wings alike, is printed onto a flat panel.

Portrait shape, so it hangs well in a narrow space between two windows, over a desk, or on a landing. Dragonflies read as transformation and as short bright summers across most folk traditions. A quiet gift for someone who keeps a garden or watches a pond, not a piece bought for one night in October.
