Sorry this one took us so long to move. Even being careful, I managed the break one of the wings not once, but twice in the first few days we had it. Decided it needed a protective container to travel in, so it is now intact (my dad does wonders with epoxy!) encased in a Rubbermaid container packed with cotton balls. Hopefully, the butterfly can travel safely from now on. It's really a beautiful piece! 🙂
