Wallet with a hornet

The client asked for a hornet, and it fills almost the whole front: wings, striped body and legs are modelled in relief against a stippled background. The colour runs from honey in the middle to deep burgundy at the edges, and the initials sit quietly in the lower corner.

Inside it is bright and practical: a flip-up panel with an ID window on a press stud, vertical card slots and a long compartment for notes. It went to its owner in a gift box with wood wool.
