Bee on Leather Rose, Museum Bee

A golden bee perched on a hand-crafted leather rose in deep crimson.

Museum Bees are the work of Kentucky artist Trace Mayer — each one a small, layered world built from materials with a life already lived. The backgrounds are often made from recycled American picture frames, the great majority dating to 1860–1880, or charred inner staves of bourbon barrels, still carrying their warmth and aroma. 

Every bee is hand-assembled, signed by Mayer, and initialed with the current Kentucky Derby winner.
