Brass Black Swan Ballerina Figurine — Miniature Lost-Wax Cast Dance Sculpture for Terrarium, Aquascape, and Collector Display

She balances on one leg, arms extended, and holds it. The Black Swan does not tremble.

Inspired by the most dramatic role in classical ballet, this miniature brass ballerina is cast using the traditional lost-wax method at 37.5mm tall — detailed tutu, perfect line, single-leg balance captured in solid brass. Small enough to disappear into a moss terrarium or aquascape ruin. Specific enough that anyone who knows the Black Swan will recognise exactly what they’re looking at.

In Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, the Black Swan represents duality — dark beauty, seduction, and the shadow side of grace. In a terrarium or micro-world scene, she brings that same dramatic energy: the one element that makes the whole composition feel intentional. Place her on a stone, at the edge of a mossy pool, or at the centre of a diorama that needed exactly this.

A small amount of blu-tack or double-sided tape is recommended to keep her perfectly positioned.

Caring for Your Brass

Brass develops a natural patina over time — a sign of age and character, not damage. To keep the original shine, wipe occasionally with a soft dry cloth. For a deeper clean, a small amount of brass polish or a paste of lemon juice and baking soda works well. Avoid prolonged moisture or harsh chemicals. The more it’s handled, the warmer its glow becomes.

Each piece is individually cast, so minor variations may occur.
