This peculiar artwork, titled Small Scarab, belongs to Foundryon’s line of Small Galactic Fossils. Though it shares its name with the earthly beetle, this imagined life form feels more mysterious and ceremonial. Its strong, dominant front limbs and sacred-looking shell create the impression of an armored guardian or relic, adorned as if by an evolved culture that revered its presence. Displayed against a highly decorative backdrop of dark swirling lines with radiant tones of gold and blue, the creature seems less like a specimen and more like a jewel of nature—an object to be venerated.
