Hirudo Medicinalis Leech Framed Curio
The Hirudo Medicinalis leech feeds on blood; some leeches also dine off decomposing bodies and
open seeping wounds. A leech will firmly attach itself when it bites, and it will stay attached
until it has become full and satiated with blood.
The last thing you want to do, is pull the leech off before its sucker can unhook itself. This action can also
cause regurgitation which adds serious risks. The regurgitated stomach contents in a fresh wound
may carry disease. Also, there is chance of further infection by the teeth of the leech tearing the wound,
and then leaving parts of the leech's jaw in the wound.
This beautiful framed curio is 8 inches wide by 14 inches tall by 3 inches deep.
This is an actual wet specimen of a soaked leech nestled inside a Victorian wood box,
surrouned by vintage red velvet drapery and gold metal bullion trim. Gold metal bullion
star in the center up top.

Please Note: With all of my Framed Curio Exhibits, I try to replicate
an authentic atmosphere of Victorian-era Dime Museum Patina.
This of course refers to that very special layer of age that builds up over decades,
something which I try to incorporate into all of the framed curio pieces I make.
This Victorian-era Dime Museum Patina may include one or more of the following:
vintage dust fabric, flower petals shards, glue bits, thread strands, sun faded material,
water stained, and/or smoke burned 100-year-old paper, &c., &c., and &c.
